Patent ID: 7826882

Claim:
An electrode lead set for electrical connection to a body, said electrode lead set comprising: a flexible ribbonized cable core extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the distal end portion comprising a plurality of branch end portions that are each configured to hold an electrode, the flexible ribbonized cable core being separable into a plurality of branches that are each joined to adjacent branches by a separable interface prior to separation, each of the plurality of branches comprising a corresponding one of the branch end portions, each branch end portion comprising an electrode housing that is configured to hold the corresponding electrode, and each of the plurality of branches comprising a generally planar ribbon conductor extending along the corresponding branch from the proximal end portion of the ribbonized cable core to the corresponding branch end portion, each generally planar ribbon conductor being at least partially surrounded by an insulating material, the electrode housings each comprising a first opening for receiving a distal end portion of the corresponding generally planar ribbon conductor and a second opening for receiving an electrical contact of the corresponding electrode, the first and second openings being relatively arranged such that the distal end portion of the corresponding generally planar ribbon conductor is configured to electrically connect to the electrical contact of the corresponding electrode.
