It is very easy to input and remove. The one thing I will tell you to ask the doctor is as follows:

How durable is this medical device, specifically, in the location you will be implanting it at, how likely is lead migration (movement of lead away from intended site). Is there anything at the site the lead needs to be that will help anchor the lead?
- I had too much lead migration with stimwave to use it as a Peripheral Nerve Stim. I tried and had it changed out twice. But, this was around my sciatic nerve right above the back of my knee (where that nerve splits into 2 branches). Thus, no real way to anchor it other than the 'barbs' of the lead that helps it stay in place. I went to an off-label use of a Medtronic stim because it had a lead with the right rigidity to be more durable.
- This is ALL site specific stuff. If your location of implantation will work better with the system, stim wave rep and your doc should know this. I was one of the first patients in the USA to have this device put in for a sciatic nerve use case. In many other sites...the stim wave holds up great. When mine did stay in place I got AMAZING results. It can go at a higher frequency/rate than any other stim on the market that I tried...and that's what seemed to benefit my pain so much.

We actually implanted all of my atimwave trials and Permanents in a fluoroscopy suite. So, yes. It was that easy. simple!!!
