Filed:

Dec 29, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/980862

Inventors:

Cory Brinkman - Celina TX, US

Assignee:

Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

A61N 1/00

US Classification:

607115

Abstract:

A method of fabricating a stimulation lead by supplying a lead body with a plurality wire conductors extending the length of the lead body and being within insulative material therein; providing a plurality of terminals and electrodes on the ends of the lead body, wherein the plurality of terminals and electrodes are electrically coupled, wherein the providing comprises: (i) positioning a conductive band about the lead body that is adapted to be clasped about the lead body; (ii) positioning a conductor wire between an exterior surface of the first end and an interior surface of the second end of the conductive band; (iii) closing overlapping ends of the conductive band about the conductor wire; and (iv) welding the ends to seal the conductive band about the lead body.

International Classification:

H01R 43/16

US Classification:

29874

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a process, for fabricating a medical lead for stimulation of tissue of a patient, comprises: forming a plurality of electrode assemblies wherein each electrode assembly of the plurality of electrode assemblies comprises a respective plurality of segmented electrodes angularly separated by ribs formed in one or more segments of thermoplastic tape; electrically coupling a conductor to each segmented electrode; molding polymer material around each segmented electrode of the plurality of segmented electrodes to interlock each segmented electrode with polymer material to form a distal end of the medical lead; and fusing the one or more segments of thermoplastic tape of each of the plurality of electrode assemblies with the polymer material.

Appl. No.:

17/752779

Inventors:

- PLANO TX, US
Cory Brinkman - Celina TX, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

Abstract:

Stimulation lead includes an elongated lead body having distal and proximal ends and wire conductors extending therebetween. The stimulation lead also includes a lead paddle having a multi-dimensional array of electrodes positioned along a contact side of the lead paddle. The electrodes are electrically coupled to the wire conductors. The lead paddle includes a paddle body and a conductor organizer disposed within the paddle body. The conductor organizer has multiple channels extending along the lead paddle. The channels receive the wire conductors and retain the wire conductors in a designated arrangement with respect to the lead paddle. The conductor organizer has openings to the channels. The wire conductors extend through the openings and are terminated to the respective electrodes.
