Patent ID: 7769471

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a biological electrical stimulus cable assembly, comprising: providing a cable portion including a plurality of first conductive wires, wherein the plurality of first conductive wires are enclosed within the insulative material that forms a body of the cable portion; removing a first portion of the insulative material from a surface along the length of the insulative material at a first location to expose only one of the first conductive wires thereby creating a first exposed wire surface, wherein the removing the first portion is performed on the cable portion after the plurality of first conductive wires are disposed within the insulative material of the body of the cable portion; electrically connecting a first end of a second conductive wire to the first exposed wire surface; wrapping the second conductive wire about the cable portion, wherein the wrapping causes the second conductive wire to be wrapped a plurality of times around the cable portion such that the second conductive wire forms a substantially continuous band around the cable portion; electrically connecting a second end of the second conductive wire to a conductive surface; and providing an electrode over the band formed by the second conductive wire, wherein the band formed by the second conductive wire extends along at least a majority of the length of the electrode.
