Medtronic Receives FDA Approval for Neurostimulator; Shares Rise 1.4%

Shares of Medtronic (MDT) gained 1.4% after the company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Vanta, a recharge-free implantable neurostimulator.

The neurostimulator offers personalized pain relief, broad MRI compatibility, and almost double the device life in certain settings.

It also uses MDT’s AdaptiveStim technology for customized pain relief that adjusts to the patient’s body position using a built-in accelerometer. (See MDT stock analysis on TipRanks)
