Patent ID: 7047082

Claim:
A neurostimulating lead comprising: a body member having a wall, a proximal end portion and a distal end portion; a first conductor within the wall of the body member and extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion; a second conductor within the wall of the body member and extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion, and wherein the first conductor and the second conductor are each spaced about the same distance from a longitudinal axis of the body member; a first opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the first conductor; a second opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the first conductor; a third opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the second conductor; a first conductive link within the first opening to electrically connect to the first conductor; a second conductive link within the second opening to electrically connect to the first conductor; a third conductive link within the third opening to electrically connect to the second conductor; a first band electrode positioned at the distal end portion and proximate the outer surface of the body member and electrically connected to the first conductive link and to the second conductive link; and a second band electrode positioned at the distal end portion proximate the outer surface of the body member and electrically connected to the third conductive link.
