INSERTION SYSTEM AND LEAD FOR TREATMENT OF A TARGET TISSUE REGION
摘要
The present disclosure provides for systems and methods enabling the insertion of leads (as used e.g., in a framework of the brain treatment therapies) through a target anatomy for conforming with a target tissue region. An exemplary lead includes at least a partially curved portion for conforming with a geometry defined by the target tissue region. In an exemplary embodiment, the system relates to stimulating targets in the brain for improved post-operative steering of an applied electric field. The leads can be either pre- curved or put under transversal mechanical strain during insertion such that a certain curved curvature of the insertion trajectory is achieved. The system includes at least a first insertion tool removably engaged with respect to the lead for guiding and providing mechanical support to the lead during insertion.
