Patent number: 8504172Abstract: An operating room connector is used in conjunction with a multiple electrode SCS system which can easily detach and connect to an external trial stimulator (ETS). By connecting the electrode SCS system to a stylet handle, and then locking the stylet handle within a slot of the connector platform, a user is able to minimize the required steps in connecting the ETS to the implanted SCS lead system. The ETS can then be used to readjust the position of the electrode array(s) previously implanted to deliver an optimal stimulation therapy.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2012Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: Kenny Kinyen Chinn, Carla Mann Woods, Stephen L.
