Medical Electrode Device Comprising at Least One Contact Element

A method for fabricating a medical electrode device for implantation into a patient, the method comprising:

• forming a carrier element from an electrically insulating material such that at least one contact element is at least partially embedded in the electrically insulating material of the carrier element, the at least one contact element comprising a contact portion for coupling to tissue in an implanted state of the medical electrode device, and
• connecting at least one electrical supply line to the at least one contact element, wherein the at least one contact element comprises a first fastening section and a second fastening section, the first fastening section and the second fastening section being arranged at a distance with respect to each other along a length direction and the at least one electrical supply line being connected to the at least one contact element at the first fastening section and the second fastening section such that the at least one electrical supply line is arranged at a distance with respect to the contact portion along a height direction oriented perpendicularly to the length direction,
• wherein said forming the carrier element includes:
• forming the carrier element such that a portion of the carrier element extends through a space in between the contact portion and the at least one electrical supply line.
