Abstract: A neurostimulation lead includes a lead body having a proximal portion and a distal portion and a first conductor extending through the lead body. An electrode cuff can be secured relative to the distal portion of the lead body. The electrode cuff includes a cuff body, a first tendril extending from a first region of the cuff body, a second tendril extending from a second region of the cuff body and a first electrode disposed on the cuff body and electrically connected to the first conductor.

Abstract: Various embodiments concern an implantable paddle lead. The paddle can be attached to a distal portion of an elongate lead body. The paddle can comprise a main panel and a ridge that peripherally surrounds the main panel. The main panel can comprise a first face and a second face opposite the first face. One or more electrodes can be exposed on the first face but not exposed on the second face. The paddles can be sutured to anatomical structures. The sutures can be threaded through the main panel but not through the ridge. The paddle can be thicker along the ridge than along the main panel.

Abstract: A medical apparatus comprising an implantable lead and a stylet configured for stimulation of a target region of a patient's nervous system is described. The lead includes a generally tubular lead body, a conductor, and an electrode assembly. The generally tubular lead body has a stylet lumen and a conductor lumen extending through the proximal and distal ends of the lead body. The conductor is enclosed within the conductor lumen. The electrode assembly extends from the distal end of the lead body. The electrode assembly includes a flexible polymeric carrier and an electrode on the carrier and electrically coupled to the conductor. The stylet is sized and shaped to be receivable within the stylet lumen and configured to stiffen and support the lead body. The distal portion of the stylet includes a bend having a predetermined angle of incidence relative to the proximal portion of the stylet.

Abstract: The invention describes a cuff electrode assembly that includes a resilient cuff body configured to be disposed about a nerve. The cuff body includes a first end portion and a second end portion. The cuff body can be pre-formed to define a closed configuration having a generally annular cross-sectional shape such that, in the closed configuration, the cuff body extends helically with the first and second end portions overlapping on different planes. The cuff electrode assembly includes a first arm member and a second arm member, each projecting radially outward from the cuff body and spaced from one another along the cuff body. The cuff body can be configured such that force applied to urge the first and second arm members toward one another causes relative deflection of the first end portion and the second end portion to define an open configuration of the cuff body.
