Percutaneous Leads

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.

Features and Benefits

• Single- and dual-8 electrode (Octrode^®) systems offer greater programming options and enhance precision in directing paresthesias to desired sites.
  
  
• Small, closely spaced electrodes (Octrode and Quattrode^® leads) result in a more focused current field, which facilitates recruitment of desired nerve fibers before unwanted (and sometimes painful) nerve root stimulation occurs. ^{(3,4,6,7,8,12)}
  
  
• Use of dual leads enables symmetrical placement on each side of the midline to facilitate midline dorsal column fiber recruitment and bilateral stimulation coverage.⁽⁶⁾
  
  
• Longer electrode span provides greater dermatomal coverage. 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)}
  
  
• Removable straight and angled lead stylets enhance steerability and control.
  
  
• Polyurethane insulation sheath increases lead durability and longevity.
