  • Publication number: 20240099897
    Abstract: In some illustrative examples, a bridge suitable for treating a tissue site may include a bridge sealing member and one or more bridge wicking layers. The bridge sealing member may extend along a length of the bridge, and may define an internal passageway in fluid communication between a receiving end of the bridge and a transmitting end of the bridge. The one or more bridge wicking layers may be disposed within the internal passageway of the bridge sealing member. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220023644
    Abstract: One aspect is a method of manufacturing a lead connector for an implantable medical device. The method includes connecting proximal ends of a plurality of conductive pins to a corresponding one of a plurality of ring contacts to form a plurality of ring-pin subassemblies, assembling each of the plurality of ring-pin subassemblies on an assembly frame, including inserting the plurality of conductive pins in a corresponding plurality of openings within the assembly frame such that the corresponding plurality of ring contacts are spaced along a longitudinal dimension of the assembly frame, arranging the assembly frame along with the conductive pins and corresponding ring contacts within a mold cavity, filling the mold cavity with a mold material that surrounds the assembly frame, and removing a resulting lead connector from the mold cavity.

  • Publication number: 20180042506
    Abstract: A medical lead for implantation includes an electrode assembly having a plurality of electrodes. Each of the plurality of electrodes include a plurality of electrode segments. Each electrode segment has a flexible conductor directly coupled to it. A strut is coupled within each of the plurality of electrodes such that each of the flexible conductors coupled to the plurality of electrode segments are supported between the strut and each of the plurality of electrodes by the strut. An insulator fills gaps between the plurality of electrodes, the strut and the flexible conductors.
