ABSTRACT:
A medical electrical lead for spinal cord stimulation includes a first column of electrode surfaces and a second column of electrode surfaces, both coupled to a distal portion of the lead such that the two columns extend alongside one another and are spaced apart from one another. Each electrode surface of the first column is coupled to a corresponding conductor of a first plurality of conductors of a first lead body, and each electrode surface of the second column is coupled to a corresponding conductor of a second plurality of conductors of a second lead body. The first and second lead bodies are coupled together by the distal portion of the lead, and each electrode surface extends laterally away from the respective lead body.
