Abstract
An implantable neurological stimulation lead assembly (10) having multiple elongated stimulation leads coupled together in parallel with a lead coupler (13) for delivering electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissue for treatment. The lead coupler (13) includes a set of interconnected expandable elastic collars (15), one collar for each lead (11,12), whereby the collars (15) respectively receive and retain the leads (11,12) with an elastic constraint in a predetermined side by side array. The set of interconnected lead coupler collars (15) are interconnected with a releasable connection (23) whereby the lead assembly (10) may be configured as a single or multiple lead assembly.
Claims20
An implantable neurological stimulation lead assembly having at least one lead combined with a lead coupler for delivering electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissue for treatment;
- said lead coupler including at least one lead retainer, for each at least one lead, said at least one lead retainer respectively receiving and retaining said at least one lead with an elastic constraint.
A lead coupler for coupling multiple elongated neurological stimulation leads together to form a lead assembly for delivering electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissue for treatment, said lead coupler including:
- a set of interconnected expandable elastic collars, one collar for each lead, said collars dimensioned and contoured for respectively receiving and retaining said leads with an elastic constraint in a predetermined side by side array.
A lead coupler for coupling multiple elongated neurological stimulation leads together to form a lead assembly for delivering electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissue for treatment, said lead coupler including;
- a set of interconnected lead retainers, one for each lead, said lead retainers dimensioned and contoured for respectively receiving and retaining said leads with an elastic constraint in a predetermined side by side array;
- said set of interconnected lead retainers interconnected with a releasable connection.
