Patent number: 10279188Abstract: An electrical stimulation system provides stimulation therapy to a patient. The system includes a neurostimulation lead that contacts patient tissue and couples with an implantable stimulation device, such as an implantable pulse generator, that receives stimulation parameters for providing stimulation therapy to a patient. The implantable stimulation device includes a header with a plurality of connector assemblies that receive an end of the neurostimulation lead, and a case containing a charging coil and a telemetry coil coupled to programming circuitry on a printed circuit board, which is in turn coupled to the connector assemblies via a feedthrough assembly. The telemetry coil receives data from an external programmer and transmits the data to the programming circuitry, which in turn uses the data to communicate to the connector assemblies and the neurostimulation lead to provide stimulation therapy to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: Jeffery V. Funderburk, Randy L. Brase, Robert R. Tong, Md. Mizanur Rahman

Patent number: 7798864Abstract: An implantable connector, implantable lead assemblies, and implantable lead assembly kits are provided. The connector comprises an electrically insulative receptacle having a port configured for receiving an electrical lead body portion that carries an electrical terminal, and an electrical spring clip contact mounted within the receptacle. The electrical contact includes a collar and opposing lever arms. The collar is configured for being placed between an expanded state for receiving the terminal therein when the lead body portion is received within the port, and a collapsed state to firmly engage the terminal. The opposing lever arms are configured for being displaced using a tool to correspondingly place the collar between the expanded state and the collapsed state. The implantable connector can be incorporated into a lead and used to receive another lead to form the lead assembly. A tool can be provided with the connector to provide the lead assembly kit.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: John M. Barker, Matthew B. Flowers, Paul M. Meadows, Randy L. Brase, Robert Tong
