I agree with alt, it is a good indication for Medtronic since it did work during your trial. I personally have two St. Jude stimulators implanted. I am very happy with the company. My dr recommended it over another brand and I can see why, the reps I have are fantastic and the units work well.

I did so much reading and googling before I decided to move forward with the stimulators and St Jude. They called me before the trial to explain and walk me through the whole process, of the trial and permanent, it helped me understand a lot better and be more comfortable with my decision.

If you are unsure of which to go with, ask your dr why he is recommending Medtronic's device over the others. YOU need to make the decision AND be comfortable with it.

Best of luck to you,
Nanc
