Medtronic pioneered the field of neuromodulation with the first commercially available spinal cord stimulator (SCS) to treat chronic pain and engineered the first deep brain stimulation (DBS) system to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s. We also designed the first implantable drug pump to deliver medication directly to the intrathecal space in the spine as well as developing the field of balloon Kyphoplasty to treat vertebral compression fractures.

After more than 40 years of firsts, we continue to innovate, constantly challenging ourselves to disrupt the markets we created. We advance science by thinking and acting boldly, bringing together the right people with the right breadth of expertise to engineer groundbreaking therapies & technologies.
