摘要： An implantable electrical stimulation lead includes a plurality of conductors disposed in a lead body, the plurality of conductors each electrically coupling at least one electrode to at least one terminal. The plurality of conductors includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor includes a plurality of alternating first and second coiled regions. The first coiled regions have tighter pitches than the second coiled regions. The second conductor includes a plurality of alternating third and fourth coiled regions. The third coiled regions have tighter pitches than the fourth coiled regions. The plurality of conductors are arranged into repeating adjacent winding geometries disposed along a longitudinal length of the lead body. The repeating adjacent winding geometries each include one of the plurality of first coiled regions and one of the plurality of third coiled regions axially disposed adjacent to one another.

摘要： A lead introducer includes a split-release insertion needle configured and arranged for insertion into an epidural space of a patient. The split-release insertion needle has a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. The split-release insertion needle includes a plurality of body elements that laterally mate along the longitudinal axis of the split-release insertion needle. When the plurality of body elements are mated, the plurality of body elements define a lumen along the longitudinal axis of the split-release insertion needle. The lumen is configured and arranged to receive a distal end of a neurostimulation lead. A removable retaining member is disposed over at least a portion of each of the plurality of body elements. The plurality of body elements are configured and arranged to at least partially separate from one another when the retaining member is removed from the plurality of body elements.
