    摘要: In general, the invention is directed to a technique for percutaneously introducing a stimulation lead into a target stimulation site via the epidural region proximate the spine of a patient. The process of introducing the stimulation lead may include the use of a hollow stimulation lead introducer, which comprises an elongated sheath and an elongated dilator. The dilator fits within the sheath and serves to widen a path through the epidural region for the introduction of a stimulation lead. At least a portion of the stimulation lead introducer has an oblong cross-section, allowing passage of stimulation leads such as paddle leads. The stimulation lead introducer may enter the epidural region proximate a spine of a patient via a guidewire. The stimulation lead introducer provides a path through the epidural region of a patient to a target stimulation site. A stimulation lead may travel through the path to reach the target stimulation site where it may provide therapy to the patient.

    摘要: An implantable lead having a silicone rubber lead body which has a reduced coefficient of friction on an internal or external surface. The reduction in coefficient of friction is accomplished by extruding a tubular lead body to define a plurality of small parallel longitudinally extending grooves on the inner or outer surface of the lead body. The grooves may be formed by means of a die having inwardly or outwardly directed projections that form the grooves during the extrusion process. The formation of the grooves during extrusion provides a lead body having a lower coefficient of friction without the necessity of additional manufacturing process steps and without additional manufacturing costs.
