  • Electrical stimulation leads and systems with elongate anchoring elements and methods of making and using
    Patent number: 10709886
    Abstract: An electrical stimulation lead includes a body having distal and proximal end portions, a longitudinal length, at least one anchoring lumen, and at least one open slot spaced apart from each end of the lead body. Each anchoring lumen is open at a slot and extends both distally and proximally from the slot. The lead also includes electrodes; terminals; conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and at least one anchoring element at least partially disposed in an anchoring lumen. Each anchoring element includes at least one bent portion biased to extend an extension portion of the anchoring element out of a slot when the anchoring element is in a deployed position and can retract the extension portion into an anchoring lumen when the anchoring element is in a constrained position. The lead further includes an attachment member attached to each anchoring element and disposed proximal to each slot.
