Abstract:
An electrical-stimulation lead includes a body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, and a perimeter; electrodes disposed along the distal portion of the body and including segmented electrodes that each extend around no more than 50% of the perimeter of the body; terminals disposed along the proximal portion of the body; and conductors electrically-coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and at least one anchoring unit disposed along the distal portion of the body and configured and arranged for resisting rotation of the body and electrodes relative to patient tissue upon implantation of the lead. Each anchoring unit includes a lead-attachment element and at least one anchoring element attached to the lead-attachment element. The anchoring element extends away from the lead-attachment element and is configured and arranged for physically contacting patient tissue and resisting rotation of the body in proximity to the anchoring element.

Claim (Index 20):
An implantable microstimulator comprising:\n a control module comprising\n a housing having an outer surface, and \n an electronic subassembly disposed in the housing; \n a plurality of electrodes disposed along the outer surface of the housing and coupled to the electronic subassembly; and at least one anchoring unit disposed along the outer surface of the control module and configured and arranged for resisting movement of the control module relative to patient tissue after implantation of the microstimulator, the at least one anchoring unit comprising\n a lead attachment element defining a central lumen within which a portion of the control module is received, the lead attachment element having a proximal end, a distal end, a diameter, and a longitudinal length, and \n at least one anchoring element attached to the lead attachment element and extending away from the lead attachment element, the at least one anchoring element configured and arranged for physically contacting patient tissue and resisting movement of the control module in proximity to the at least one anchoring element.
