  • ELECTRICAL STIMULATION CUFF LEADS WITH CONJOINED DISTAL END PORTIONS
    Publication number: 20250249236
    Abstract: A cuff lead arrangement includes a first cuff lead having a first cuff body; first stimulation emitters (for example, electrodes) disposed on an interior surface of the first cuff body; a first lead body coupled to the first cuff body; first conductors electrically coupled to the first stimulation emitters and extending along the first lead body; and at least one first connection element. The cuff lead arrangement further includes a second cuff lead having a second cuff body; second stimulation emitters disposed on an interior surface of the second cuff body; a second lead body coupled to the second cuff body; second conductors electrically coupled to the second stimulation emitters and extending along the second lead body; and at least one second female connection element configured to receive the at least one first male connection element to conjoin the first cuff lead to the second cuff lead.

  • Electrical stimulation leads and systems with anchoring units having struts and methods of making and using
    Patent number: 9649489
    Abstract: An anchoring unit is disposed on a lead body of an electrical stimulation lead. The anchoring unit has a first end and a second end and includes a first attachment ring disposed at the first end, a second attachment ring disposed at the second end, and longitudinal struts extending linearly between, and coupled to, the first and second attachment rings. At least a portion of each longitudinal strut rests against the lead body in a retracted position, and each anchoring unit has a deployed position in which the first and second attachment rings are positioned closer together with the longitudinal struts extending away from the lead body to contact patient tissue and anchor the lead within the patient tissue.
