In this paper we consider a well-known construction due to Gromov and Lawson, Schoen and Yau, Gajer, and Walsh which allows for the extension of a metric of positive scalar curvature over the trace of a surgery in codimension at least 3 to a metric of positive scalar curvature which is a product near the boundary. We extend this construction for (p, n)-intermediate scalar curvature for 0≤ p≤ n− 2 for surgeries in codimension at least p+ 3. We then use it to generalize a well known theorem of Carr. Letting R s p, n> 0 (M) denote the space of positive (p, n)-intermediate scalar curvature metrics on an n-manifold M, we show for 0≤ p≤ 2 n− 3 and n≥ 2, that for a closed, spin,(4 n− 1)-manifold M admitting a metric of positive (p, 4 n− 1)-intermediate scalar curvature, R s p, 4 n− 1> 0 (M) has infinitely many path components.
