Abstract:
1. A method of stringing an electrode onto a multi-lumen lead, the method comprising: providing a polymeric pre-form, an outer profile of the pre-form varying along a longitudinal section of the pre-form such that a cross-sectional area of the pre-form decreases from a proximal end to a distal end of the pre-form, the cross-sectional area transverse of a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal section; positioning a plurality of electrodes along the longitudinal section such that the plurality of electrodes are respectively positioned at a plurality of different locations along the longitudinal section, the cross-sectional area of the pre-form different at each of the plurality of different locations; and depositing a layer of silicone over the pre-form, the layer of silicone deposited by being overmolded around the pre-form, the layer of silicone defining an outer surface of a lead body.
