Abstract
A lead for use in neural stimulation comprises a core section having a proximal end and a distal end. A plurality of electrodes is coupled to the core section proximate the distal end. At least one contact is coupled to the core section proximate the proximal end. At least one thin film is wound around the core section from the proximal end to the distal end and electrically coupling the at least one contact and the plurality of electrodes. The at least one thin film forms a curved substantially planar shape in a relaxed state before being wound around the core section.
