In various examples, a method of conductor management within a medical device includes providing a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate includes at least one routing feature. A hole is cut in the at least one routing feature with a cutting device. A conductor is passed through the hole in the at least one routing feature. The routing feature acts to maintain and manage positioning of the conductor within the medical device. The medical device, in some examples, includes a lead, with the conductor connected to an electrode of the lead after being routed through the routing feature.

Method of conductor management within a medical device

In various examples, a component for a medical device is described. The component includes a conductor wire including a connection portion. An electrode is formed from a conductive tube. The conductive tube is compressed at least partially around the connection portion of the conductor wire to at least partially surround and couple to the connection portion.

Electrode connection and method therefor

Endoscope assemblies, biopsy caps, and methods for making and using the same. An example endoscope assembly may include an endoscope having a channel formed therein and a port that provides access to the channel. A cap may be coupled to the port. The cap may include a base and an outer shell. A locking member may be coupled to the outer shell. An inner seal member may be disposed within the outer shell. One or more openings may extend through the cap and into the channel. An actuator may be coupled to the base for shifting the inner seal member between an unsealed configuration and a sealed configuration.
