Vercise™ DBS Physician Manual
Pre-Conditions
The described implant procedures start with implanting the DBS Lead. It is assumed that
the following procedures have been completed:
•
The stereotactic frame and/or fiducials of a frameless system are attached to the
patient.
•
The desired trajectory of the DBS Lead insertion path has been determined.
•
The incision in the scalp has been made and the burr hole drilled.
•
If using the SureTek™ Burr Hole Cover, the Base of the Burr Hole Cover has
been affixed over the burr hole. (See the manual provided with the Burr Hole
Cover Kit for instructions for use.)
•
The desired trajectory and DBS Lead depth may have been verified by
microelectrode recording or an appropriate means.
Implanting the DBS Lead
The DBS Leads will be implanted and therapeutic benefit verified.
1. Prepare DBS Lead for implant. Visually inspect the DBS Lead and determine it to be
acceptable for implantation.
2. Pass the DBS Lead through the cannula to ensure proper fit.
3. Insert the cannula (with stylet) into the brain to the desired depth.
Note: Cannula depth depends on physician's preference.
4. Assemble the Lead Stop by partially screwing the threaded
portion of the Screw into the threaded hole in the Ring.
5. Measure the desired depth of DBS Lead with a gauge or
ruler and apply the DBS Lead Stop at that length.
