Abstract: A temporary medical lead in which stimulating electrical energy is transmitted to body tissue through the lead electrodes via ionic conduction within the hydrogel material is described. The hydrophilic hydrogel material consists of a porous structure into which conductive salt ions are diffused. In addition the structure of the hydrogel material can be loaded with a single or combination of therapeutic drugs which is elutable from the electrode.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for implanting a neural stimulation lead in a patient's body are described. A lead assembly comprises a pointed-tip stylet, a stimulation lead, and an optional tube to deploy a fixation element attached to the lead. One embodiment of the implant methods starts with inserting the pointed-tip lead assembly directly into tissue. After the desired implant position is determined, the pointed-tip component is separated from the stimulation lead and removed from the tissue, leaving the stimulation lead implanted. After confirmation that the stimulation lead is in the right, tissue location, the pointed-tip component is removed from the body, leaving the stimulation lead in place. The stimulation lead can be connected to a neurostimulator to delivery therapies to treat neural disorders, such as urinary control disorders, fecal control disorders, sexual, dysfunction, and pelvic pain, etc.

Abstract translation: 描述了将神经刺激引线植入患者体内的方法和装置。 引线组件包括尖尖探针，刺激引线和用于展开附接到引线的固定元件的可选管。 植入方法的一个实施方案是将尖尖引线组件直接插入组织中。 在确定期望的植入位置之后，将尖端部件与刺激引线分离并从组织中移出，留下刺激引线。 在确认刺激引线在右侧，组织位置之后，将尖端部件从身体移除，使刺激引线保持原位。 刺激引线可以连接到神经刺激器以进行递送疗法以治疗神经障碍，例如尿控制障碍，粪便控制障碍，性功能障碍和骨盆疼痛等。
