The 1st phase is an invasive procedure, dr inserts 2 wires on the thoracic area I am assuming through a needle,, they hook the 2 wires to the battery pack on the outside. You can only sponge bath while that is in.Thank you

It’s my understanding that the temporary implant is for 5-7 days to see if your body rejects it before putting in a permanent one. Look at all the options. Some of the permanent ones can be used with an MRI. I’ve been given an option of five different ones. My new physician is very knowledgeable and not limited to one brand. I’m very fortunate.
