11. If the Stimulator will be implanted during a separate surgery, prepare the DBS Lead
for the "Stimulator Implantation" procedure.
a. Place a Suture Sleeve on the left DBS Lead to differentiate the Leads.
b. Insert proximal end of the DBS Lead into the Lead Boot until it stops.
Note: Be sure to fully insert the proximal tip of the DBS Lead into the Lead Boot (see
below) so that the retention sleeve is located under the Setscrew.
Note: The retention sleeve is easily distinguishable from the contacts by its length (see
below).
c. Pass the Torque Wrench through the slit in the septum located on the top of the
Lead Boot.
d. Tighten the Setscrew until the Torque Wrench clicks, indicating the Setscrew is
fully secured.
Note: To tighten the Setscrew, use one hand to grasp the Lead Boot at the base and
the other to rotate the Torque Wrench clockwise until it clicks, indicating the
Setscrew is fully secured. To loosen the Setscrew, rotate the Torque Wrench
counterclockwise.
