BIFURCATED LEAD WITH INTEGRATED ANCHOR AT BRANCH REGION |
摘要 |
An implantable medical lead includes a proximal portion having first and second contacts. The lead further includes a first distal arm having a first electrode that is electrically coupled to the first contact, and includes a second distal arm having a second electrode that is electrically coupled to the second contact. The lead also includes a branch region where the proximal portion transitions to the first and second distal arms. A tissue anchoring element is attached to the branch region for securing the branch region to tissue of a patient into which the lead is implanted. Such bifurcated leads may be used to apply electrical signals to occipital nerves of the patient via the electrodes. A lead extension includes a distal connector with two lead receptacles and a tissue anchoring element attached to the connector. An adaptor having three lead receptacles includes an anchoring element attached thereto. |
