Percutaneous Lead Placement in the Epidural Space
OPTIONAL. Cover slotted needle with finger to aid in insertion of Infinion CX lead into
slotted needle lumen.
OPTIONAL. If needle steering within the slotted needle is not needed, remove slotted
needle and insert lead directly into sheath.
9. OPTIONAL. If exchange of the lead stylet is desired, carefully pull out the existing stylet and
insert the preferred stylet. The stylet must be inserted into the Infinion CX Lead tail with one
marker band. While inserting the stylet into the lead, if resistance is encountered, withdraw
the stylet approximately 3 cm, rotate the lead and/or stylet, and gently advance the stylet.
If resistance is still encountered, repeat the above procedure until the stylet can be fully
inserted.
The stylet must be inserted into the Infinion CX Lead tail with one marker band
WARNING: Do not exchange the lead stylet while the electrode array of the lead is in
the bevel of the insertion needle. If the electrode array is in the bevel area, remove the lead
from the insertion needle before exchanging the stylet. Inserting the lead stylet in the lead
while the electrode array is in the bevel of the insertion needle increases the risk of lead
and tissue damage.
WARNING: If the lead stylet is removed and reinserted, do not use excessive force when
inserting the stylet into the lead. The use of instruments, such as forceps, to grasp the stylet
during insertion is not recommended as this could result in applying excessive force and
could increase the risk of lead and tissue damage.
