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 28.
