Abstract:
1. A pulse stimulation system for implantation into a patient's body, the system comprising: a pulse generator having a stimulation pulse output; a lead body; a conductive filer positioned within said lead body and having a proximal end directly electrically coupled to said stimulation pulse output of said pulse generator and having a distal end region; and an electrode coupled to said lead body, said electrode comprising: a stimulation portion; a bobbin; and a wire wound on said bobbin and having a first end and a second end, the wire forming an inductor between said distal end region and said stimulation portion, wherein said inductor is positioned at least partially within said stimulation portion and wherein said bobbin comprises: a first conductive tube at least partially within said stimulation portion, said conductive tube having a longitudinal groove therein; and a second conductive tube having a proximal end and a distal end positioned within said groove between said conductive tube and said wire, said wire having a first end electrically coupled to said stimulation portion and a second end electrically coupled to said distal end of said second conductive tube, and said distal end region of said filer electrically coupled to said proximal end of said second conductive tube.
