Stabilizing array, which includes a body elongating the distal tip of an implantable cylindrical stimulator lead, a storable, deployable and retroflexing array element for stabilizing distal tip of said lead, a keeper for storing array element during implantation, and a deploying lumen within the body which accepts a deploying stylet. The invention is a refinement to the prior art of a cylindrical stimulator lead. The array element functions to minimize migration of permanently placed cylindrical stimulator leads.
