Lead Loop™ is Evolving the SCS Procedure

​The Suture Concepts’ Lead Loop™ Anchoring System is a proprietary suture retention device consisting of a single tissue anchor and incorporated suture, that reliably connects to tissue via a simple tensioning technique.

Enables secure SCS lead fixation to tissue, quickly and efficiently

• Provides more consistent, secure tissue fixation and lead capture
• Addresses the well documented complications of SCS Lead migration

Offers an improved surgical technique, permitting a truly minimally invasive approach for permanent percutaneous SCS lead fixation

• The Lead Loop™ provides secure fixation to deep fascia or intra-spinous ligament through a much smaller incision than is required for traditional suturing techniques
• Physicians can therefore minimize incision size at the anchoring site
• This minimally invasive approach leads to less tissue disruption, and reduced potential for patients’ anchor site pain

Reduces OR time via faster anchoring, and the impact of a smaller incision results in less wound closure time

• The Lead Loop™ facilitates faster anchoring of SCS lead anchor to tissue, and eliminates the need for multiple suture passes, knot tying, and needle management of traditional methods
• Smaller incisions and less dissection results in less wound closure time, which may also reduce the incidence of infection

Designed to improve the SCS procedure experience for all physicians

• Provides simple and effective suturing solution to physicians who may not be comfortable with suturing or soft tissue Management
• For physicians who wish to advance their technique, It enables them to achieve a truly minimally invasive surgical approach

Lead Loop™ Features and Benefits

• The Suture Concepts Leap Loop™ was developed specifically with SCS Implant procedures in mind
• The Lead Loop™ suture loop terminates to a single point on a CF PEEK anchor therefore replicating the gold standard suturing technique
• This suture loop has ‘infinite approximation’ (the loop closes to as small a diameter as needed, allowing for full circumferential capture of any SCS lead anchor)
• The single suture loop design eliminates the potential for any tissue capture between the lead and the suture, and therefore minimizing the chance for tissue necrosis, and subsequent potential for lead migration
• The Lead Loop™’s CF PEEK anchor size is optimized for secure tissue purchase, and its proprietary suture locking mechanism eliminates the need for knot tying
• The “active toggle” mechanism at deployment means the CF PEEK anchor is toggled in the tissue before any tension forces are placed on the sutures, ensuring the best opportunity for secure tissue anchoring
• Also, the single loop design allows for its use on SCS lead anchors regardless of their design (silastic, mechanically locking, and with or without eyelets)
