Abstract

See full text

A protective patch or bandage is provided for use with an implantable trial neurostimulation lead for implant within a patient. In one example, the lead is routed through the patch to a trial neurostimulation generator. In another example, the patch includes an internal electrical connector for connecting the trial neurostimulation lead to a connection line from the trial neurostimulation generator. In either case, the patch is sealed over an implant site to protect and hygienically isolate the site. A central chamber of the patch is provided to hold medical gauze and to further hold a coiled portion of the neurostimulation lead. In some examples, the patient can shower while wearing the protective patch.
