First Claim
Patent Images
1. A lead assembly comprising:
- a lead body extending from a proximal end portion to a distal end portion, the distal end portion comprising an interconnect including a polymer component mechanically coupled to a ring component having an outer surface, wherein a portion of an inner surface of the polymer component is disposed over and in contact with the outer surface of the ring component at an interface and at least a portion of the outer surface of the ring component at the interface includes a mechanical coupling feature adapted to inhibit the rotation of the polymer component about the ring component;
at least one conductor extending within the lead body from the proximal end portion in a direction toward the distal end portion; and
at least one electrode operatively coupled to the at least one conductor.
