Medical lead and manufacturing method therefor

摘要

A method of manufacturing a medical lead comprising a lead body with at least one conductor and an elongate paddle having an electrode array. A first section is formed having a first butt bond by butt bonding an end of a first substantially flat and elongate member to an end a second substantially flat and elongate member. A second section is formed having a second butt bond by butt bonding an end of a third substantially flat and elongate member to an end a fourth substantially flat and elongate member. The first section is laminated to the second section to form the elongate paddle of the medical lead with the first butt bond longitudinally offset from the second butt bond. A medical lead made by exemplary embodiments of the method is also described.
