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 us-
ing the IPG template and create an inci-
sion 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 in-
structions for "Tunneling the Lead or Lead
Extension" page 29.
