through the needle and into the epidural space. Advance the lead

blank to the target location, then withdraw the blank.

5. Slowly insert the lead, with stylet, through the needle (lead stylet

should extend completely to the tip of the lead).

6. Advance the lead to the appropriate vertebral level using fluoro-

scopic guidance. A sufficient length of lead (i.e., at least 10 cm,

or approximately three vertebrae) should reside in the epidural

space and aids in lead stabilization.

To facilitate advancement and placement, the lead body may be

rotated.
