Method of making an electrode array having embedded electrodes
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a device for brain stimulation, the method comprising:
- forming a lead body having a distal end section;
coupling at least one pre-electrode to the distal end section of the lead body, the pre-electrode defining a divider with a plurality of partitioning arms and having a plurality of fixing lumens;
removing portions of the pre-electrode aligned with the partitioning arms to divide the pre-electrode into a plurality of segmented electrodes, each of the plurality of segmented electrodes defining at least one of the plurality of fixing lumens at least partially disposed through the segmented electrode; and
introducing a material through the plurality of fixing lumens to couple the plurality of segmented electrodes to the lead body.

Abstract
A method of manufacturing a device for brain stimulation includes forming a lead body having a distal end section and coupling at least one pre-electrode to the distal end section of the lead body. The pre-electrode defines a divider with a plurality of partitioning arms, and has a plurality of fixing lumens. A portion of the pre-electrode aligned with the portioning arms is removed to divide the pre-electrode into a plurality of segmented electrodes. Each of the plurality of segmented electrodes defines at least one of the plurality of fixing lumens at least partially disposed through the segmented electrode. A material is introduced through the at least one fixing lumen to couple the plurality of segmented electrodes to the lead body.
