1. A neurostimulation lead comprising:
- a lead body having a proximal portion and a distal portion;
a first conductor extending through the lead body; and
an electrode cuff secured relative to the distal portion of the lead body, the electrode cuff including;
a cuff body having a first region and a second region;
a first tendril extending substantially perpendicularly from an edge of the first region of the cuff body;
a second tendril extending substantially perpendicularly from an edge of the second region of the cuff body; and
a first electrode disposed on the cuff body and electrically connected to the first conductor,wherein at least one of the first tendril and the second tendril is configured to overlap the cuff body.

Abstract
A neurostimulation lead includes a lead body having a proximal portion and a distal portion and a first conductor extending through the lead body. An electrode cuff can be secured relative to the distal portion of the lead body. The electrode cuff includes a cuff body, a first tendril extending from a first region of the cuff body, a second tendril extending from a second region of the cuff body and a first electrode disposed on the cuff body and electrically connected to the first conductor.
