ELECTRICAL STIMULATION SYSTEM WITH OPERATING ROOM CABLE/WOUND BANDAGE AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING
First Claim
1. An operating room cable assembly for electrically coupling at least one implantable electrical stimulation lead to a trial stimulator, the operating room cable assembly comprising:
- an elongated body having a first end portion and an opposing second end portion;
a trial stimulator connector disposed along the second end portion of the elongated body; and
a lead connector disposed along the first end portion of the elongated body and electrically coupled to the trial stimulator connector, the lead connector having a top surface and a bottom surface, opposite the top surface, and configured and arranged to mechanically receive a proximal end portion of at least one electrical stimulation lead or lead extension, the lead connector comprisinga connector body,a connector cover coupled to the connector body,a cover fastener disposed on the connector body and configured and arranged to receive a portion of the connector cover and to hold the connector cover closed over the connector body,at least one lead channel configured and arranged to receive the at least one electrical stimulation lead or lead extension,a plurality of conductors coupled to the elongated body and configured and arranged to make electrical contact with terminals disposed on the at least one electrical stimulation lead or lead extension when the at least one electrical stimulation lead or lead extension is received in the at least one lead channel, anda layer of medical adhesive disposed along a bottom surface of the lead connector, wherein the layer of medical adhesive and the lead connector are configured and arranged for disposition over an exit wound from which the at least one electrical stimulation lead or lead extension extends out of a skin of a patient.

Abstract
An operating room cable assembly for electrically coupling at least one implantable electrical stimulation lead to a trial stimulator includes an elongated body; a trial stimulator connector disposed at one end of the elongated body; and a lead connector disposed at another end of the elongated body. The lead connector includes a connector body, a connector cover, a cover fastener disposed on the connector body, at least one lead channel to each receive a lead or lead extension, conductors coupled to the elongated body to make electrical contact with terminals disposed on the lead or lead extension, and a layer of medical adhesive disposed along a bottom surface of the lead connector. The layer of medical adhesive and the lead connector are configured and arranged for disposition over an exit wound from which the at least one lead or lead extension extends out of a skin of a patient.
