Ipg Implantation - Boston Scientific Precision SC-1110 Mode D'emploi

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 anchored with the suture
sleeve.
2. Select and mark the intended IPG site using the IPG template 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 2.0 cm
from the surface. Implant charging could become ineffective at depths greater than 2.0 cm.
Note: Using the IPG 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.
4. To tunnel to the IPG site, proceed to the instructions for "Tunneling the Lead or Lead
Extension" on page 36.
