An electrode assembly comprising:
- a wire;
- and
- a substantially cylindrical electrode comprising:
- a radially inner surface;
- a radially outer surface;
- and
- a strip defined by at least one slot extending from the radially inner surface to the radially outer surface, wherein the wire is welded to the radially outer surface of the strip.
4 more elements
A neurostimulation system comprising:
- an implantable pulse generator;
- a substantially cylindrical electrode comprising:
- a radially inner surface;
- a radially outer surface;
- and
- a strip defined by at least one slot extending from the radially inner surface to the radially outer surface;
- and
- a wire electrically coupling the implantable pulse generator to the electrode, wherein the wire is welded to the radially outer surface of the strip.
5 more elements
A method of assembling an electrode assembly, the method comprising:
- threading a wire through at least one slot defined in a substantially cylindrical electrode that includes a radially inner surface, a radially outer surface, and a strip defined by the at least one slot extending from the radially inner surface to the radially outer surface;
- and
- welding the wire to the radially outer surface of the strip.
