Abstract:
1. A splitter for an electrical stimulation system, the splitter comprising: a junction having a proximal end and a distal end; an elongated proximal member extending from the proximal end of the junction, the proximal member comprising a plurality of terminals disposed on a proximal end of the proximal member; a plurality of elongated distal members extending from the distal end of the junction, each distal member comprising a connector disposed on a distal end of the distal member, the connector configured and arranged for receiving a lead or lead extension, wherein one of the distal members is longitudinally aligned with the proximal member and at least another one of the distal members is longitudinally offset from the proximal member; and a plurality of conductors coupling the terminals of the proximal member to the connectors of the distal members, wherein each connector is coupled to a different subset of the terminals using the plurality of conductors, and each terminal of the proximal member is coupled by at least one of the conductors to a connector of only one of the plurality of elongated distal members.
