  • Embedment of medical lead coil electrodes
    Patent number: 11738204
    Abstract: In some examples, a coil electrode assembly includes a coil electrode including a plurality of windings and extending from an electrode proximal end to an electrode distal end, the coil electrode defining an electrode lumen from the electrode proximal end to the electrode distal end. The coil electrode assembly further includes an insulative tube extending within the lumen of the coil electrode such that the coil electrode extends along an outer surface of the insulative tube. The coil electrode is partially embedded within the insulative tube when the insulative tube is in an expanded state to maintain a spacing between the windings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2022
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas Rentas Torres, George W. McFall, William J. Clemens, Dina L. Williams

  • MEDICAL ELECTRICAL LEAD CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20070178770
    Abstract: A connector for a medical electrical lead includes a single connector, which delivers three or more conductors to an implantable medical device (IMD). The connector includes integrated multiple electrode rings and conductors, and has a modular system of connector and spacer blocks for routing the conductors to a lead body.
