Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a medical lead comprising: making first and second segmented electrode assemblies wherein the first and second segmented electrode assemblies are made by: placing the first and second segmented electrode assemblies on a conductor assembly comprising at least first and second electrical conductors, wherein the conductor assembly is positioned along the longitudinal axis of the first segmented electrode assembly; electrically coupling the first conductor to a first segment of the first segmented electrode assembly; electrically coupling a second conductor of the conductor assembly to a second segment of the second segmented electrode assembly placing the coupled conductor assembly and first and second segmented electrode assemblies into a mold; and injecting an electrically insulating material into the mold to create a medical lead having a substantially cylindrical shape.
