Patent ID: 8874235

Claim:
An electrical lead comprising: a) an elongate lead body comprising a plurality electrical conductors, each having a length extending from a proximal region to a distal region of the lead; b) a first curved paddle body with a concave front-side and a convex backside, both sides extending to and meeting spaced apart right and left first edges; c) a second curved paddle body with a concave front side and a convex backside, both sides extending to and meeting spaced apart right and left second edges, i) wherein the convex backside of the first paddle body directly contacts the convex backside of the second paddle body in a back-to-back relationship to thereby form a paddle body assembly, and ii) wherein an imaginary plane extends through the lead body along the length thereof and through where the first paddle body contacts the second paddle body in the back-to-back relationship such that the right and left edges of the respective first and second paddle bodies reside on opposite sides of the imaginary plane; d) a plurality of electrodes disposed on the concave front-side of the first paddle body; e) wherein the distal region of the lead is connected to the paddle body assembly; f) wherein the plurality of conductors extend from the proximal region of the lead and connect with the electrodes; and g) wherein the proximal region of the lead is connectable to a header of an implantable medical device.
