Product Description

The Abbott Medical External Pulse Generator (EPG) is an external trial generator that when connected to
trial neurostimulation leads delivers therapeutic stimulation to parts of the body. The EPG communicates
wirelessly with system programmers and controllers.
The EPG header connects directly to the EPG for a neurostimulation trial. The EPG header can hold one or
more leads or extensions with up to 16 electrodes total.
