Vercise™ DBS Physician Manual
Care must be taken to avoid damaging the DBS Lead with sharp instruments or excessive
force during surgery. The following guidelines will help to ensure the longevity of
components:
•
Do not sharply bend or kink the DBS Lead or Extension.
•
Do not tie suture(s) directly to the DBS Lead or Extension body.
•
Avoid pulling an implanted DBS Lead taut; stress relief loops may help to
minimize tension on the DBS Lead.
•
Avoid handling the DBS Lead with sharp instruments; use only rubber‑tipped
forceps.
•
Take care when using sharp instruments, such as hemostats or scalpels to prevent
damaging the DBS Lead.
Surgical Tape. If tape is used to temporarily secure the DBS Lead during surgery,
caution should be used to ensure the Lead is not cut or damaged when removing the tape.
Sutures. Do not apply sutures tightly around the DBS Leads, as this may damage the
DBS Leads' insulation and may result in DBS Lead failure.
Tissue Reaction. Temporarily, there may be some pain in the area of the Stimulator
as the incisions heal. If there is excessive redness around the wound area, it should be
checked for infection. In rare cases, adverse tissue reaction to implanted materials can
occur.
