Leads with segmented electrodes and methods of making and using the leads |
摘要 |
A method of making a stimulation lead includes disposing a pre-electrode along a distal end portion of a lead body. The pre-electrode includes a body having a central hub and stimulation members individually coupled to the central hub and extending radially - outward therefrom such that each of the stimulation members is electrically-coupled to each of the remaining stimulation members solely via the central hub. Conductors extending from terminals disposed along a proximal end portion of the lead body are electrically -coupled to each of the stimulation members. Electrically-nonconductive material is disposed around longitudinal surfaces of the central hub with the electrically- nonconductive material abutting inner surfaces of the stimulation members. The central hub is removed from the pre-electrode body to electrically isolate each of the stimulation members from one another, thereby transforming the stimulation members into electrically-isolated segmented electrodes disposed along the electrically-nonconductive material. |
