There are several advantages of an implanted device. Since it is implanted in the body, there are few, if any, external parts to wear and daily maintenance is minimized. In addition, the system is more directly targeted to the effected area. The disadvantage of implanted devices is they do involve a surgery which can lead to a system that is more expensive.

A patient may have a “test” stimulation with a lead implanted under the skin near the tailbone and attached to a portable electrical stimulator that can be worn on a belt for a few days to see how InterStim Therapy affects the symptoms.

They typically administer stimulation over the skin.

The materials that the implant is made out of are generally inert enough to not elicit an immune response. However, it is possible to have sensitivity or to develop an infection around the implant, and this in essence will force the implant to be removed.

In the old days, the devices were implanted left of the belly button with a long cable running under the breast, up near the collar bone, and down into the heart.

Intacs. The procedure takes about 20 minutes, but less with the laser. The cornea is marked for the ring position (centered on the iris or pupil, depending on whether it is the Standard or SK model), a 1.2mm incision is made using a triple-edged diamond knife with a guard which limits depth at the implantation site to about 50-75% corneal thickness at the site.
