Embedment of medical lead coil electrodes

In some examples, a coil electrode assembly includes a coil electrode including a plurality of windings and extending from an electrode proximal end to an electrode distal end, the coil electrode defining an electrode lumen from the electrode proximal end to the electrode distal end. The coil electr...

Zusammenfassung:In some examples, a coil electrode assembly includes a coil electrode including a plurality of windings and extending from an electrode proximal end to an electrode distal end, the coil electrode defining an electrode lumen from the electrode proximal end to the electrode distal end. The coil electrode assembly further includes an insulative tube extending within the lumen of the coil electrode such that the coil electrode extends along an outer surface of the insulative tube. The coil electrode is partially embedded within the insulative tube when the insulative tube is in an expanded state to maintain a spacing between the windings.
