Abstract:
1. A method for making a lead, the method comprising: disposing a plurality of conductive wires into a plurality of outer lumens extending along a longitudinal length of an elongated lead body with at least two different conductive wires of the plurality of conductive wires disposed into each outer lumen of the plurality of outer lumens, wherein the lead body further defines a central lumen extending along a longitudinal length of an elongated lead body; electrically coupling a different contact of a plurality of contacts to each conductive wire of the plurality of conductive wires at a first end of the lead body with the plurality of contacts being longitudinally-spaced-apart from one another along the first end of the lead body; placing the first end of the lead body into a mold, the mold comprising a cavity defining a plurality of spaced-apart cylindrical pockets, wherein the first end of the lead body is placed into the mold with each contact of the plurality of contacts aligning with a different pocket of the plurality of pockets; and injecting a resin into the mold cavity between the spaced-apart cylindrical pockets to fill the spaces between the spaced-apart cylindrical pockets.
