Note: • Ensure that the hex wrench is
fully seated in the setscrew before
tightening.
• The hex wrench is torque-limited
and cannot be overtightened.
4. Form an appropriately-sized pocket using
blunt dissection on either side of midline
for coiled excess lead and extension
connectors.
5. Place a small loop at the lead for slack.
If necessary, loosely tie a suture around
the lead-loop, but do not tighten onto the
lead.
CAUTION: Tightening sutures directly
on the lead can damage the lead.
6. Carefully remove excess slack by
gently pulling the extensions from the exit
wound.
7. For Permanent Trials, if desired, a small
suture may be used to close the exit
wound of the extension. Place and tape
a stress relief loop and dress the wound.
Proceed to the instructions for “Connect-
ing to the Trial Stimulator” page 32.
8. For Permanent Implant, close the midline
incision, and proceed to the instructions
for “Connecting to the IPG” page 35.
