Abstract:
1. An electrical stimulation lead comprising: a lead body with a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal length; a plurality of conductive contacts disposed along the distal end and the proximal end of the lead body, the plurality of conductive contacts comprising wherein the plurality of conductive contacts comprise a first conductive contact having an inner surface and an outer surface, the first conductive contact comprising a plurality of conductors, each of the plurality of conductors electrically coupling at least one of the electrodes to at least one of the terminals, wherein the first conductive contact has at least one of the plurality of conductors associated with, and electrically coupled to, the first conductive contact, wherein the at least one associated conductor extends through the first adhesive aperture from inside the lead body to the outer surface of the first conductive contact; a weld disposed in the recess, the weld electrically coupling the at least one associated conductor to the first conductive contact; and an adhesive disposed in proximity to the recess to mechanically couple the at least one associated conductor to the first conductive contact.
