Abstract:
1. A head located neurostimulator, comprising: a main body, the main body comprising: a first wire bundle having a first set and a second set of stimulating conductors, each connected to associated ones of the first set and second set of stimulating outputs, respectively; a first elongated lead body extending from the main body to a distal end, the first elongated lead body configured to contain at least a portion of the first wire bundle, the first elongated lead body being fabricated from a flexible material; a first array of surface electrodes comprising first electrodes spaced apart by a first inter-electrode spacing and disposed along a first portion of the length of the first elongated lead body, the first array of surface electrodes connected to the first set of stimulating conductors; a second array of surface electrodes comprising second electrodes spaced apart by a second inter-electrode spacing disposed along a second portion of the length of the first elongated lead body, the second array of surface electrodes connected to the second set of stimulating conductors, wherein the first portion and second portion are separated by an inter array interval, and wherein the first inter-electrode spacing, the second inter electrode spacing and the inter array interval are different distances; and a covering over the main body fabricated from the flexible material and merged with the flexible material of the first elongated lead body to form a unibody sealed assembly comprised of the main body and the first elongated lead body.
