For VNS, call LivaNova, Inc. a subsidiary of Cyberonics. Neuropace, (RNS) call the company and You can speak with Medical Team.

Well You got the answer for VNS (company is LivaNova). RNS is more in-depth. Not only does it attempt to stop a seizure it also do EEG'S when it is plugged in Your laptop as the Doctor wants one done. It is then transferred to His/Her office. It is placed under Your skin, behind the ear. The downside is the battery issue same as VNS, has to be replaced. RNS does a community Chat. You can find out more. The name of product is Neuropace. The tel# is (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). Ask for Medical Team and They will give You more answers.

I never heard of Rns the vns is implanted in your brain it is like a pace maker when seizure comes on it shocks to stop it
