  • Implantable medical electrical lead construction and associated implant systems
    Patent number: 11278717
    Abstract: A temporary medical electrical lead includes a connector pin and a single conductor coil. The coil being close-wound and having no turns of the coil distal portion being mechanically coupled together. The coil distal portion translates a force of no greater than 0.1 lbf (0.4 N) when strained 400%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas J. Steigauf, Eric H. Bonde, Phillip C. Falkner, Jeevan M. Prasannakumar, Brian T. Stolz, John Shishilla, Adam J. Rivard, Robert Sandgren, Seth Humphrys, Bernard Li

  • STRUCTURES AND TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL LEAD FABRICATION
    Publication number: 20150080995
    Abstract: A medical lead may be fabricated using an electrode fixture ((130A)-(130D)) configured to facilitate circumferential and axial alignment between electrodes of the lead. In one example, a method includes positioning an electrode fixture around at least one conductor of a plurality of conductors (122) for a medical lead, wherein the electrode fixture at least partially retains an electrode assembly. The method also includes electrically coupling a portion of the at least one conductor with at least a portion of the electrode assembly at an attachment area defined by the electrode assembly when the electrode assembly is at least partially retained by the electrode fixture.
