ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly of a lead to be implanted on a patient's nerve includes a flexible electrically insulative carrier of helical configuration, a flexible ribbon electrode secured to the underside of at least a segment of the helical configuration carrier, an elongate conductor for electrical connection to the ribbon electrode, and a flexible conducting spacer electrically connected to the ribbon electrode and to the elongate conductor for separating the latter from the helical configuration while maintaining electrical connection between the two at the distal end of the elongate conductor. The distal end of the conductor projects directly and tangentially from a curved portion of the spacer in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the helical configuration.
