Percutaneous surgical lead body with directed stimulation

An implantable medical lead for electrical stimulation at a targeted stimulation area, the medical lead defining a first and second side, comprising:

• a first percutaneous lead body having at least one electrode,
• a second percutaneous lead body bonded to the first percutaneous lead body, the second percutaneous lead body also having at least one electrode, and
• a non-conductive coating applied to at least a portion of either of the first or second sides of the medical lead,
• whereby the medical lead may be percutaneously implanted at the targeted stimulation area.

A method of forming a surgical lead body comprising the steps of:

• providing a first percutaneous lead body having at least one electrode,
• providing a second percutaneous lead body having at least one electrode,
• bonding the first percutaneous lead body to the second percutaneous lead body to form the surgical lead body, the surgical lead body defining a first side and a second side, and
• coating either of the first or second side of the surgical lead body with a urethane material,
• whereby the surgical lead body may be percutaneously implanted.

A method of implanting a surgical lead body comprising the steps of:

• providing a first percutaneous lead body having at least one electrode,
• providing a second percutaneous lead body having at least one electrode,
• bonding the first percutaneous lead body to the second percutaneous lead body to form the surgical lead body, the surgical lead body defining a first side and a second side,
• coating either of the first or second side of the surgical lead body with a urethane material,
• inserting a needle having an opening to a targeted stimulation area,
• inserting the surgical lead body through the opening of the needle to the targeted stimulation area, and
• removing the needle from the targeted stimulation area.

An implantable medical lead for electrical stimulation at a targeted stimulation area, the medical lead defining a first and second side, comprising:

• a first lead body having at least one electrode,
• a second lead body bonded at multiple locations to the first lead body, the second lead body also having at least one electrode, and
• a non-conductive coating applied to at least a portion of either of the first or second sides of the medical lead,
• whereby the medical lead may be percutaneously implanted at the targeted stimulation area.
