Self fixing spinal cord stimulation paddle lead

摘要

An improved electrical neurological stimulation paddle lead is described. The paddle lead comprises two flexible concave paddle bodies that are joined together at their opposing convex surfaces. The first paddle body contains a series of electrodes that are embedded on the concave surface that expand to fit the contours of the dura mater. The second paddle body consists of a concave surface that is pressed against the bone of the spinal column to act as a fixation mechanism to keep the paddle assembly in place.
