Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for percutaneous delivery of neurostimulation arrays. In an embodiment, neurostimulation lead comprises a body portion configured to transition from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded deployed configuration. In aspects, the expanded deployed configuration is wider than the collapsed delivery configuration. Additionally, in some embodiments, transitioning the neurostimulation lead from the collapsed delivery configuration to the expanded deployed configuration comprises unfolding or unwrapping motions that are not perpendicular to the central axis of the delivery system. In certain embodiments, the neurostimulation lead includes an array of electrodes arranged on the body portion, wherein the array of electrodes is electrically coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG).
