Abstract
A stimulator lead is herein disclosed. The stimulator lead includes a proximal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a first opening, wherein said proximal portion is operatively connected to an IPG unit, a distal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a second opening, and a third portion between the proximal and distal portions that is configured for percutaneous placement in an epidural space, wherein said middle portion includes at least one stimulator electrode for placement adjacent to target dura.

A spinal cord stimulator lead, comprising:
- a proximal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a first opening, wherein said proximal portion is operatively connected to an IPG unit;
- a distal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a second opening;
- and
- a third portion between the proximal and distal portions that is configured for percutaneous placement in an epidural space, wherein said middle portion includes at least one stimulator electrode for placement adjacent to target dura.
A spinal cord stimulator lead, comprising:
- a proximal portion that is configured for placement within the epidural space at a first location;
- a distal portion that is configured for placement within the epidural space at a second location;
- and
- a third portion between the proximal and distal portions configured for percutaneous placement in an epidural space, wherein said middle portion includes at least one stimulator electrode for placement adjacent to target dura.
An electrical stimulator lead comprising:
- a self-contained elongate that is configured to be percutaneously inserted into the human anatomy, wherein said self-contained elongate further comprises,
- a proximal portion that is configured for placement within the human anatomy at a first location;
- a distal portion that is configured for placement within the human anatomy at a second location;
- and
- a third portion between the proximal and distal portions configured for percutaneous placement near a target treatment area, wherein said middle portion includes at least one stimulator electrode.
A catheter for the delivery of medicine comprising:
- a proximal portion that is configured for placement within an epidural space at a first location;
- a distal portion that is configured for placement within said epidural space at a second location;
- and
- a third portion between the proximal and distal portions configured for percutaneous placement within said epidural space, wherein said middle portion includes at least one aperture configured to deliver medicine to a target space.
