Abstract

An electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a longitudinal length; electrodes disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body; terminals disposed along the proximal end portion of the lead body: conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and at least one anchoring unit disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body. Each anchoring unit includes a cylindrical lead attachment element defining a central lumen within which a portion of the lead is received, and at least one anchoring element this is disposed over the lead attachment element and extends away from the lead attachment element and is configured and arranged for contact with patient tissue to anchor the lead within the patient tissue.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 823,240, filed May 14, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of implantable electrical stimulation systems and methods of manufacturing and using the same, and more particularly, to an implantable electrical stimulation lead with an anchoring unit and methods of manufacturing and using the same. Background technique [0004] Implantable electrical stimulation systems have been shown to treat a variety of diseases and disorders. For example, spinal cord stimulation systems have been used as a therapeutic modality for managing chronic pain syndromes. Peripheral nerve stimulation has been used to manage chronic pain syndromes and paralytic incontinence, with numerous other applications still under investigation. Functional electrical stimul...
