1. A nerve overwrap for an implantable nerve stimulation system, the nerve overwrap comprising:
multiple helixes including two or more electrically active helixes and an electrically inactive helix, each of the multiple helixes being configured to substantially surround a nerve of a patient in a helical configuration having more than one turn; and a sheet of electrically insulative material having an electrical resistivity of from about 108 ohm*m to about 1020 ohm*m, wherein the sheet has dimensions configured to wrap substantially around the multiple helixes and around the nerve of the patient. |
