Can the battery be recharged?
No.
How is the neurostimulator battery replaced?
The entire neurostimulator must be surgically replaced because
the neurostimulator’s battery is sealed within the device. This
replacement procedure usually does not include replacement of
the lead or extension.
How large is the neurostimulator?
The neurostimulator is oval and approximately 2.4 inches long,
2.2 inches wide, and 0.4 inches thick.
Will the neurostimulator show through my clothes?
Depending on your body build, the neurostimulator may
appear as a small bulge under the skin. However, your doctor
will try to place the neurostimulator in an area that is most
comfortable and cosmetically acceptable.
