IPG Implantation
1. Ensure that the area surrounding the lead entry site is incised to a dimension that will accommodate the
tunneling tool. Check that the lead is securely anchored with the suture sleeve.
2. Select and mark the intended IPG site using the IPG template and create an incision at the top of the site.
3. Create a subcutaneous pocket no larger than the IPG outline at a depth of up to 2.0 cm from the surface.
Implant charging could become ineffective at depths greater than 2.0 cm.
Note: Using the IPG template will help guide the correct pocket sizing. It is important to keep the pocket
small to reduce the chances of patient manipulation and IPG ipping.
4. To tunnel to the IPG site, proceed to the instructions for “Tunneling the Lead or Lead Extension” on page
35.
