ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE STIMULATION CHANNELS
First Claim
1. Implantable electrical stimulation device comprising:
- a pulse generator;
memory;
first and second electrode leads each comprising one or more electrodes;
a switch having a first state in which the first electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator, and a second state in which the second electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator; and
a controller comprising at least one processor configured to execute at least one stimulation program stored in the memory, the controller configured to selectively set the switch in the first or second state;
wherein electrical stimulation pulses generated by the pulse generator responsive to the execution of the stimulation program are delivered to the first or second electrode lead based on the state of the switch.

Abstract
An implantable electrical stimulation device configured to treat multiple pelvic conditions of a patient includes a pulse generator, memory, first and second electrode leads comprising one or more electrodes, a switch and a controller. The switch has a first state, in which the first electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator, and a second state, in which the second electrode lead is electrically coupled to the pulse generator. The controller includes at least one processor that is configured to execute at least one stimulation program stored in the memory. The controller is also configured to selectively set the switch in the first or second state. Electrical stimulation pulses generated by the pulse generator responsive to the execution of the stimulation program are delivered to the first or second electrode lead depending on the state of the switch.

10. A method of treating pelvic conditions of a patient comprising:
-
implanting an electrical stimulation device comprising a control unit and first and second electrode leads in a patient, wherein the first electrode lead comprises one or more electrodes positioned at a first stimulation site, and the second electrode lead comprises one or more electrodes positioned at a second stimulation site that is different from the first stimulation site; performing a first stimulation treatment comprising delivering electrical stimulation signals to the first stimulation site through the first electrode lead; treating a first pelvic condition of the patient responsive to the first stimulation treatment; performing a second stimulation treatment comprising delivering electrical stimulation signals to the second stimulation site through the second electrode lead; and treating a second pelvic condition of the patient responsive to the second stimulation treatment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
