4. Assemble the Lead Stop (Figure 1) by partially screwing the threaded portion of the screw into
the threaded hole in the Ring.
5. Measure the desired depth of DBS Lead with a gauge or ruler and apply the DBS Lead Stop
at that length. To apply the DBS Lead Stop, push the DBS Lead to the center of the Lead Stop
and then tighten the Screw (Figure 2). This will ensure that the DBS Lead will be inserted to the
proper depth.
Note: Make sure the Lead Stop will not slide on the DBS Lead when engaged.
6. Insert the DBS Lead, with the stylet in place, into the cannula.
7. Insert the DBS Lead and the cannula into the cannula guide on the microdrive.
8. Attach the DBS Lead to the microdrive.
For the DBS Directional Lead, you may orient the directional contacts by positioning the directional
marker (see Figure 3) in a desired position when attaching the Lead to the microdrive. This
directional marker is radiopaque. Boston Scienitific recommends that the directional contacts be
oriented such that contacts #2 and #5 and the directional marker are facing in an anterior direction
within the brain.
9. Slowly advance the DBS Lead to the desired target using the microdrive.
Note: Ensure that the stylet is inside the Lead before advancing the Lead to the desired target.
