EnduraLife™ Battery Technology

Battery longevity is good for patients, the health care system and the environment

Boston Scientific EnduraLife batteries last longer and significantly outperform industry averages, confirmed by real-world, independent post-market studies¹⁻².

Each avoided replacement procedure can save...

This represents specific data from NHS England, but the principle is relevant in other healthcare systems.

Did you know?

In England, there are over 1,300 Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) replacements annually, accounting for 1/3 of all CRT-D procedures⁸.
