the patient.
• The desired trajectory of the DBS Lead insertion path has been determined.
• The incision in the scalp has been made and the burr hole drilled.
• If using the SureTek™ Burr Hole Cover, the Base of the Burr Hole Cover has
been afxed over the burr hole. (See the manual provided with the Burr Hole
Cover Kit for instructions for use.)
• The desired trajectory and DBS Lead depth may have been veried by
microelectrode recording or an appropriate means.

Note: Cannula depth depends on physician’s preference.

threaded portion of the Screw into the threaded hole

or ruler and apply the DBS Lead Stop at that length.
