Product Description St. Jude Medical™ leads are designed for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to aid in the treatment of chronic, intractable pain. SCS is a method of pain control that uses low-intensity electrical impulses to stimulate nerve fibers within the spinal cord, often inhibiting chronic pain messages from reaching the brain.
Directions for Use Carefully review the following suggested guidelines for implantation of percutaneous trial leads. If implanting multiple leads, repeat the appropriate steps for each lead. For directions for use for other system components not covered in this document, see the clinician’s manual for the appropriate device.
