ANS Percutaneous Leads

Percutaneous Leads

ANS Quattrode^®, Octrode^®, and Axxess^® percutaneous leads are designed for greater steerability and control. They are available in numerous electrode configurations, increasing options for improved stimulation coverage across the spectrum of pain patterns—from single extremity, unilateral pain to diffuse, multifocal complaints.

Quattrode Leads

• Available in a variety of lengths to minimize the need for extensions.
  
  
• Small, closely spaced electrodes produce a focused current field.
  
  
• Removable straight and angled lead stylets enhance steerability and control.
  
  

Octrode Leads

• Single and dual Octrode (8 electrode) leads offer greater programming options and enhance precision in directing paresthesias to desired sites.
  
  
• Use of dual Octrode leads enables symmetrical placement on each side of the midline to facilitate midline dorsal column fiber recruitment and bilateral stimulation coverage.⁽⁶⁾
  
  
  
• Octrode lead’s longer electrode span provides greater dermatomal coverage—up to two vertebral segments. It also allows electronic repositioning of stimulation to accommodate changing pain patterns and reduces lead revisions due to migration. ^{(3,4,5,7,10,11)}
  

Axxess Leads

Axxess leads, the industry’s smallest diameter leads, offer the durability, low impedance, and reliability of traditional ANS leads with a low-profile construction for superior control during lead placement.

Features and Benefits

• Cross-sectional area 60% smaller than that of traditional percutaneous leads
  
  
• Small profile provides easier access to restrictive spinal cord stimulation sites
  
  
• Unibody construction enables one-to-one torque transfer along the entire length of the lead for unparalleled responsiveness at the lead tip
  
  
  
• Integrated stylet enhances control
