Abstract
In various examples, a component for a medical device is described. The component includes a conductor wire including a connection portion. An electrode is formed from a conductive tube. The conductive tube is compressed at least partially around the connection portion of the conductor wire to at least partially surround and couple to the connection portion.
Claims21
(canceled)
A component for a medical device, the component comprising:
- at least one conductor coil including a connection portion;
- and
- an electrode formed from a conductive tube, wherein the conductive tube is compressed at least partially around the connection portion of the at least one conductor coil to at least partially surround and couple to the connection portion, the electrode including:
- a flattened portion including a substantially flat surface configured to contact and stimulate tissue;
- and
- at least one protrusion extending from the flattened portion of the electrode, wherein the connection portion of the conductor coil is disposed within the protrusion of the electrode.

A component for a medical device, the component comprising:
- at least one conductor coil including a connection portion;
- and
- an electrode formed from a conductive tube, wherein the conductive tube includes an inner surface facing inwardly toward an axis of the conductive tube and an outer surface facing outwardly away from the axis of the conductive tube, the connection portion of the at least one conductor coil being coupled to a first portion of the inner surface, wherein the electrode includes the conductive tube collapsed such that at least the first portion of the inner surface and the connection portion of the at least one conductor coil contacts at least a second portion of the inner surface to substantially sandwich the connection portion of the at least one conductor coil between the first portion of the inner surface and the second portion of the inner surface, the electrode including:
- a flattened portion including a substantially flat surface configured to contact and stimulate tissue;
- and
- at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the flattened portion of the electrode, wherein the connection portion of the at least one conductor coil is disposed within the at least one protrusion of the electrode.
