In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a neurostimulation stimulation lead comprises: providing a plurality of ring components and hypotubes in a mold; placing an annular frame with multiple lumens over distal ends of the plurality of hypotubes to position a portion of each hypotube within a respective lumen of the annular frame; molding the plurality of ring components and the hypotubes to form a stimulation tip component for the stimulation lead, wherein the molding fills interstitial spaces between the plurality of ring components and hypotubes with insulative material; and forming segmented electrodes from the ring components after performing the molding.

Medical leads with segmented electrodes and methods of fabrication thereof

Devices and methods are provided for an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising a device housing having electronic components therein, a feedthrough assembly joined to the device housing, an antenna assembly, and a header body mounted to the device housing and enclosing the antenna assembly and feedthrough assembly. The antenna assembly including an inner conductor, a dielectric material, and an outer conductor arranged to form a coaxial structure.

Antenna and attachment method for rechargeable implantable medical device

In one embodiment, a neurostimulation lead comprises: a lead body comprising a plurality of conductor wires; and a molded stimulation tip end comprising a plurality of segmented electrodes, hypotubes, and an annular frame structure: wherein (i) each segmented electrode of the plurality of segmented electrodes has an inner surface, an outer surface, and step-down region embedded within polymer material of the molded stimulation tip end, (ii) each respective hypotube is directly welded to the inner surface of a corresponding segmented electrode of the plurality of segmented electrodes.
