second DBS Extension.
11. Place the Stimulator in the subcutaneous pocket with the etched writing "This Side
Up" facing the skin, and parallel to the skin surface.

result in the inability to charge and/or a revision surgery.
a. Coil the excess DBS Extension length around the Stimulator perimeter.
WARNING: Avoid placing the excess DBS Extension length on the superficial surface
of the Stimulator, as this may increase the potential for tissue erosion or
damage during Stimulator replacement surgery and may interfere with
charging.
b. Optionally secure the Stimulator to the fascia by suturing through the holes in the
Stimulator header.
12. Close the incisions.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the DBS Lead, Stimulator, or other implanted
components when closing the incisions.
Note: When closing the incision over the extension connector, orient the extension
connector to minimize the profile under the skin.
