Product Description

Lead

the spinal cord, resulting in an inhibition of pain sensation.

Model SC 2108 has eight electrodes located near the distal end. Each

electrode is 3 mm in length and is spaced 1 mm from the adjacent

electrode. The lead body is made of medical grade polyurethane with

a stiffer proximal end to aid insertion into the connector. To aid in

intraoperative testing and positioning, a curved stylet is pre-inserted
