Octad Leads
A percutaneous octad lead with 8 electrodes at the distal end is used for single and dual lead placement and configuration.
Octad leads cover 2 or more vertebral segments, helping to optimize pain coverage. They also provide electronic “repositioning” to manage changes in stimulation coverage due to vertical lead movement. Finally, they provide the longest electrode span and most spacing options on the market.
Percutaneous leads may be configured to create simple or complex electrode arrays, utilizing up to 4 leads. Use the TargetStim® programming tools to transition between electrode configurations and quickly steer stimulation.

Benefits
Benefits of choosing surgical leads over percutaneous leads include: 1, 2
- Lower stimulation amplitudes (and longer battery life), since electrodes are insulated on one side and the electric field is directed towards the spinal column
- Computer modeling predicts reduced recruitment of lateral structures (dorsal roots)
- Lead migration is reduced due to the lead's shape combined with encapsulation in fibrous tissue
- Studies show that low-back coverage ratings are higher
Above: Directed electric field
As a result, surgical leads provide:
- Ability to use our low-profile extension to maximize patient comfort
- Simplified screening through direct connection of the screening cable to the lead
- 100% compatibility with our full line of 4-contact extensions

Specify 5-6-5 Surgical Lead
The Specify™ 5-6-5 surgical lead with DuraLoc™ electrode technology offers exclusive advantages, including:
- Anatomically shaped paddle is designed to better fit within the epidural space and provide more consistent electrode contact with the dura, increasing stability and optimizing stimulation
- Paddle is more than 20% narrower in width than the ANS Lamitrode® Tripole 16C
- Greater longitudinal electrode span for additional programming and coverage range
- 16 independently programmable electrodes can be quickly programmed using TargetStim to achieve optimal settings
The Specify™ 5-6-5 surgical lead is compatible with the entire Medtronic family of 16-electrode implantable neurostimulators (both rechargeable and non-rechargeable).
