Litronik - 2.85V (Number 2)
What is the tilt in biphasic shocks
60% is first tilt
50% of remainder is second tilt

D Filled Tube
What is silglide and how much does it improve gliding
Poly spray coating - 60% reduction in friction
On ilesto the HV port was changed from where to where vs. Lumax
Right on the LUMAX to left on the Ilesto
How many screws for Ilesto
1 screw - not two
How many screws for DF1 vs DF4
DF1 = 3-4 acres
DF4 = 1 screw
Lead material is PEEK - standing for
Polyether ether ketone - Doesn’t deform
DF4 advantages
Simpler implant procedure
Reduced implant complexity
Decreased lead volume and pocket size
Fresh seals for each new device
