Indications for Use
The Lead Model SC 2108, when used in conjunction with Advanced 
Bionics External Trial Stimulator Model SC 5100 or IPG Model SC 
1100, is indicated for the management of chronic intractable pain of 
the trunk and limbs utilizing spinal cord stimulation. The therapy is 
generally most effective in patients who suffer neuropathic pain. 
Careful patient selection, therefore, is an important factor in achieving 
efficacious outcomes.

Systems Handbook.) Most successful outcomes occur with the fol-
