Abstract
Neuromodulation unit placement carries a historic infection rate as high as 12%. Treatment of such requires surgical removal and a long course of systemic antibiotics. TYRX antibacterial envelopes, which elute minocycline and rifampin, have been used in implantable cardiac devices. At our center, one surgeon uses these envelopes with all implanted neuromodulation units.
