Securing the DBS Lead
Once a DBS Lead has been placed, it should be secured.
CAUTION: While securing the DBS Lead, use care not to move it.
1. Remove the Lead Stop by unscrewing the Screw and detaching the Lead Stop from
the DBS Lead.
2. Slowly retract the cannula to just above the burr hole by sliding it over the proximal
portion of the DBS Lead. Be careful not to move the DBS Lead.
Note: The descriptors "proximal" and "distal" use the Stimulator as the reference
throughout this manual.
3. Fix the Lead in place. The SureTek™ Burr Hole Cover Kit is recommended for use
with the Vercise™ System. (An appropriate commercially available filler may also
be used.
) Fill the burr hole with an appropriate commercially available filler, such as
2
hydroxyapatite (not provided), using the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: Remove any bone wax from the bone interface before applying the adhesive.
Note: Ensure that the adhesive is level with the superior surface of the skull.
4. Allow the adhesive to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. While holding the DBS Lead with rubber‑shod forceps, remove the DBS Lead
implant components.
a. Remove the cannula.
b. Remove the microdrive system.
c. Remove the stereotactic frame.
d. Remove the stylet.
WARNING: Do not reinsert the stylet into the DBS Lead while the DBS Lead is in the
brain, as this may damage the DBS Lead and/or cause patient harm.
