Abstract
A stimulation lead includes a lead body; terminals disposed along the proximal end portion of the lead body; electrodes disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body, the electrodes including segmented electrodes. Each of the segmented electrodes includes a base and at least one finned arrangement radially extending from the base. Each of the finned arrangement includes elongated segments, each of the elongated segments extending along at least 50% of a length of a dimension of the base. Each finned arrangement also includes curved segments, where a first curved segment connects a first end portion of a first elongated segment to a first end portion of an intermediate elongated segment and a second curved segment connects a second end portion of a second elongated segment to a second end portion of an intermediate elongated segment. The lead also includes conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes.
