Cochlear implant electrode lead having a cross-section with variable height |
摘要 |
An electrode lead for insertion into a patient's cochlea includes a substantially solid elongate carrier member having lateral and medial sides and opposing transverse surfaces extending between outer surfaces of the lateral and medial sides, wherein the carrier member has a thickness between outer surfaces of the lateral and medial sides, and a plurality of electrodes disposed on or in the medial side. A height of the lateral side between the transverse surfaces is generally greater than a height of the medial side between the transverse surfaces, wherein each of the heights is approximately perpendicular to the thickness. |

1. An electrode lead for insertion into a patient's cochlea comprising:
a substantially solid elongate carrier member having lateral and medial sides and opposing transverse surfaces extending between outer surfaces of the lateral and medial sides, wherein the carrier member has a thickness between outer surfaces of the lateral and medial sides; and a plurality of electrodes disposed in the medial side, wherein:
a height of the lateral side between the transverse surfaces is generally greater than a height of the medial side between the transverse surfaces; andthe heights of the lateral and medial sides are approximately perpendicular to the thickness of the carrier member. |
