IPG Implantation

1. Ensure that the area surrounding the lead entry site is incised to a

dimension that will accommodate the tunneling tool. Check that

the lead is securely sutured with the suture sleeve.

2. Select and mark the intended IPG site several inches away from

the previously externalized leads, and create an incision at the top

of the site.

3. Create a subcutaneous pocket no larger than the IPG outline at a

depth of up to 3/4 inch (2.0 cm) from the surface.

Note: • Using the template will help guide the correct pocket sizing.

It is important to keep the pocket small to reduce the

chances of patient manipulation and IPG flipping.

• Implant charging could become ineffective at depths greater

than 3/4 inch (2.0 cm).
