the wound, clean the top of the splitter set-
screw seal plug and use silicone medical
adhesive (e.g. Dow Corning Silastic
ical Adhesive Silicone, Type A - Sterile, as
available from Boston Scientific, part num-
ber SC-4320) to coat and seal the top of
the seal plug that has been penetrated by
the hex wrench.
Note: Inadvertent damage to the septum
seal may lead to unintended
stimulation at the splitter 2x8 if the
Medical Adhesive is not used as
intended.
