5-Column Paddle Leads

The Penta™ lead offers the industry’s smallest electrodes in a five-column array for precise field control and broad lateral coverage.1-3 Designed to enable selective nerve fiber stimulation and predictable dermatomal activation, the Penta lead provides enhanced control for coverage of complex, multifocal pain.

Key Features

  • Broad lateral electrode span designed to accommodate anatomical asymmetries as well as placement variability
  • Five-column array intended to provide the flexibility necessary to isolate current to specific nerve fibers
  • Small electrode size designed to focus current for enhanced specificity
