Lead Extensions

The model of DBS Lead and position of the DBS IPG being implanted will determine the
compatible Lead Extension that should be used with that system. See the "DBS Product
Compatibility" section of this manual.
8 Contact Lead Extension
The 8 Contact Lead Extension consists of a Connector at the distal end and 8 cylindrical Contacts
at the proximal end. The Lead is inserted and secured into the Connector on the distal end. The
Connector also contains 8 Contacts that align with the Contacts on the Lead to form electrical
connections. The proximal end of the extension is inserted into the IPG.
The 8 Contact Lead Extension may only be used with 8 Contact Leads. Each of these Lead
Extensions connects to a single Lead. This 55 cm model is intended to support IPGs implanted in
the pectoral region.
