I have 2 Boston Scientific SCS's , one for lumbaraarea and one for cervical area, and have affectionately named them "the twins". I never was given a choice of other brands as my pain mgmt. dr. only mentioned Bos. Scientific to me. They were used for my two trials and then, recently, for my new implants.
The link I think Rae is referring to is:

I found it very helpful. Hope you find a nugget or two that's helpful.
