Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a percutaneous stimulation lead for applying electrical stimulation to tissue of a patient, comprising: providing a lead body of insulative material that comprises a plurality of conductors within the insulative material; fabricating a plurality of terminals on a proximal end of the lead body; and fabricating a plurality of electrode assemblies on a distal end of the lead body, wherein (i) each electrode assembly of the plurality of electrode assemblies comprises a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer, (ii) the first layer and second layer being formed from a respective continuous wire, (iii) the third layer comprising a ring of conductive material, and (iv) the fabricating comprises: wherein each second layer of the plurality of electrode assemblies forms an inductor and each first layer of the plurality of electrode assemblies and each corresponding third layer are capactively coupled.
