4. Form an appropriately-sized pocket using
blunt dissection on either side of midline
or anchor for coiled excess lead and
extension connectors.
5. Place a small loop at the lead for slack.
If necessary, loosely tie a suture around
the lead-loop, but do not tighten onto the
lead.
CAUTION: Tightening sutures directly on
the lead can damage the lead.
6. Carefully remove excess slack by gently
pulling the extensions from the exit
wound.
7. For Permanent Trials, if desired, a
small suture may be used to close the
exit wound of the extension. Place and
tape a stress relief loop and dress the
wound. Proceed to the instructions for
"Connecting to the Trial Stimulator" on
page 31.
