摘要: An implantable electrical stimulation lead includes an integrated fixation mechanism that expands upon implantation of the to fix relative a target tissue site, such as within epidural region proximate spine or sacral foramen. The may include one more expandable wire-like elements, which be configured in substantial helical shape. elements formed from elastic super-elastic material, and expand radially outward when restraint is removed following lead.
