DBS Extension
The DBS Extension consists of a connector at the distal end and 8 cylindrical contacts at
the proximal end. The DBS Lead may be inserted and secured into the connector, which
also contains 8 contacts that align with the contacts on the DBS Lead to form electrical
connections. The DBS Extension can be implanted and attached to the Stimulator and
the DBS Lead for both unilateral stimulation (on either left or right side) and bilateral
stimulation.
