through the needle and into the epidural space. Advance the lead 
blank to the target location, then withdraw the blank.

5. Slowly insert the lead, with stylet, through the needle (lead stylet 

should extend completely to the tip of the lead). 

6. Advance the lead to the appropriate vertebral level using fluoro-

scopic guidance. A sufficient length of lead (i.e., at least 10 cm, 
or approximately three vertebrae) should reside in the epidural 
space and aids in lead stabilization. 

To facilitate advancement and placement, the lead body may be 
rotated.
