  • Publication number: 20240108883
    Abstract: An electrode lead includes an elongate lead body and a nerve cuff. The nerve cuff may include a cuff body, with a front layer and a rear layer, affixed to the distal end of the lead body and a plurality of electrically conductive members located between the front and rear layers. Each of the electrically conductive member defines a front side, a rear side and an outer perimeter and may include a plurality of holes that extend from the front side to the rear side and that are located around the outer perimeter. The cuff body front layer includes a plurality of windows that are respectively aligned with and located inwardly of the outer perimeters of the electrically conductive members, and a plurality of window frames that extend from the windows to the outer perimeters of the electrically conductive members. The cuff body also includes a plurality of anchors that respectively extend through the electrically conductive member holes and connect the window frames to the cuff body rear layer.

  • Publication number: 20230241394
    Abstract: An electrode lead including an elongate lead body and a nerve cuff (or other nerve contact element) including an electrically insulative cuff body (or other contact body) affixed to the distal end of the lead body and at least one electrically conductive coil partially embedded in the cuff body (or other contact body) such that there are non-embedded portions, which together define a flexible coil contact that is associated with the front outer surface of the cuff body (or other contact body), and embedded portions.

  • Publication number: 20220313987
    Abstract: An electrode that includes an elongate lead body and a nerve cuff. The nerve cuff may include a biologically compatible, elastic, electrically insulative cuff body configured to be circumferentially disposed around a nerve, first and second relatively wide electrically conductive contacts carried by the cuff body that are spaced from one another in the length direction and that extend in the width direction to such an extent that they extend completely around the cuff body inner lumen when the cuff body is in the pre-set furled shape, and a plurality of relatively narrow electrically conductive contacts carried by the cuff body that are spaced from one another in the width direction and are located between the first and second relatively wide electrically conductive contacts.
