Abstract: A method of forming a stimulation lead includes forming an implantable lead body, including helically winding at least one cable about a mandrel to form a coiled cable assembly in a first, restrained state. Helically winding the at least one cable includes applying a tensile force to the at least one cable as the at least one cable is wound about the mandrel. Forming the lead body also includes releasing the tensile force from the at least one cable to allow the coiled cable assembly to release stored mechanical energy and transition from the restrained state to a second, relaxed state in which the coiled cable assembly is substantially free of stored mechanical energy. The method further includes subjecting the lead body to a reflow process by applying heat to the lead body, where the tensile force is released prior to the lead body being subjected to the reflow process.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide radial exterior weld terminal configurations for medical device leads are described. A radial exterior weld terminal may comprise an annular conductive structure having a radial exterior weld interface feature, wherein a medical device lead may comprise one or more radial exterior weld terminals. A radial exterior weld interface feature may be disposed at an end of the annular conductive structure and may configure the annular conductive structure to accept a non-axially directed portion of a conductive wire for interfacing a conductor with a weld location on an outer surface of the radial exterior weld terminal. The radial exterior weld interface feature may comprise a truncated aperture configured for the non-axially directed portion of conductive wire to traverse from the inner space to the outer surface. The truncated aperture may comprise a dimple member depressed into the interior space of the annular conductive structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a stimulation lead for providing stimulation signals to nerve tissue and improved methods for constructing and manufacturing such a stimulation lead. The stimulation lead and/or methods includes a lead with a cable disposed within. At each end of the lead body a portion of the cable is exposed, and a metal ferrule is securely attached to the exposed cable portion. An electrode/contact is then securely attached to the metal ferrule such that the electrode covers the metal ferrule, a portion of the lead body, and a transition point where the exposed cable exits the lead body. A tine component may be swaged around a portion of the term end, configured to provide a retaining force against an force acting upon the stimulation lead, while allowing insertion of the stim end of the stimulation lead during implantation, and extraction of the stim end during explantation.

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide a bulkhead anchor configuration in which an anchor body includes flexure finger members and a radial bulkhead operable in cooperation to impart a radial compressive force to a corresponding lead body are described. A first portion of a bulkhead anchor body may comprise a plurality of flexure finger members disposed in a corolla configuration forming an anchor lumen through which a lead body may be inserted. A second portion of the bulkhead anchor body may comprise a radial bulkhead having a flexure profile configured to operatively engage the flexure finger members. A locking mechanism may be used to retain the first and second portions of the bulkhead anchor in their relative positions such that the radial compressive force is maintained upon the lead body indefinitely.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lead insertion tool for inserting a lead connector end of an implantable lead into a lead receptacle of a header of an implantable pulse generator, the implantable lead including a lead body extending distally from the lead connector end. The tool includes a lead pathway and an engagement mechanism. The lead pathway extends through the tool and is configured to receive the implantable lead. The engagement mechanism includes an engaged state and a self-biasing non-engaged state. When the engagement mechanism is self-biased into the non-engaged state, the implantable lead is free to displace along the lead pathway. When the engagement mechanism is forced into the engaged state, the lead cannot displace along the lead pathway.
