As transcranial magnetic stimulation progresses in its acceptance by regulatory authorities
and the medical community around the world, so does the precision and speed of TMS
devices. MagVenture, a Danish pioneer of TMS systems, has come up with a new way to
focus and position the magnetic coil, making treatments quicker and handier.
Its team of development engineers and medical scientists have created Flow Arm, a positioning
system to optimize the delivery of its FDA cleared protocols for non-invasive brain
stimulation technology within the treatment of major depressive disorder and as an adjunct
therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder. It has been specifically optimized for clinical
practice but can also help TMS researchers. Now, almost effortlessly, operators can move
and securely position the TMS coil.
" In recent years, the clinical market for TMS has expanded at such a rapid pace that manufacturers
are being challenged to keep pace with the technological requirements emerging
with the exponential expansion in the demand for utilization, " notes Kerry Rome, senior
vice president of sales at the company's US subsidiary. " We've seen MagVenture drive
an FDA clearance for ultra-fast 'Theta Burst' TMS which has reduced treatment times for
patients from 37 to just 3 minutes. "
The coil is essentially two very heavy
spools of copper wire that produce and focus
the magnetic fields for the non-invasive
brain stimulation technique. The typically
large and unwieldy coils, by necessity,
must be accurately positioned and held
immobile. MagVenture has designed an
extensive portfolio of coils for various applications.
In
2018, MagVenture was the first TMS
company to receive FDA clearance for
Express TMS, reducing treatment time from
the standard 37 minutes to just 3 minutes
One of many TMS coils made by MagVenture
per session. MagVenture A/S has over 25 years of experience within neuromodulation.
From headquarters in Farum near Copenhagen, its products are manufactured and promoted
worldwide through direct sales subsidiaries in the US, Brazil, Germany and the UK,
and through a global network of distributors.
