Abstract
A lead for an implantable medical device (IMD) includes an electrode having a plurality of brick segments that are discrete and mechanically connected to one another in a line. The brick segments are electrically conductive and electrically connected to one another. The brick segments are configured to be powered by a pulse generator of the IMD to deliver high-voltage shocks for defibrillation therapy.
Claims20
A lead for an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising:
- an electrode comprising a plurality of brick segments that are discrete and mechanically connected to one another in a line, wherein the brick segments are electrically conductive and electrically connected to one another, the brick segments configured to be powered by a pulse generator of the IMD to deliver high-voltage shocks for defibrillation therapy, the electrode further comprising one or more support cables, each of the one or more support cables extends along the brick segments and affixes to the brick segments to secure the brick segments to one another in the line.
A method of producing a lead for an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
- forming an electrode wherein the forming comprises:
- mechanically connecting a plurality of brick segments to one another in a line, wherein the brick segments are discrete, electrically conductive, and electrically connected to one another, the brick segments configured to be powered by a pulse generator of the IMD to deliver high-voltage shocks for defibrillation therapy;
- and
- affixing one or more support cables, that extend along the brick segments, to the brick segments to secure the brick segments to one another in the line.
