Abstract
An electrode assembly for an implantable medical device, including a spine, and a plurality of electrodes protruding from the spine. At least two electrodes protrude from the spine in opposing directions and define a nerve-receiving channel. When the electrode assembly is not coupled to a nerve and the electrodes are in a relaxed state position, the nerve receiving channel comprises a cross-sectional area that is substantially less than a cross-sectional area of a nerve to which the electrode assembly is adapted to be coupled. And when coupled to the nerve, each electrode wraps around and directly contacts at least 60% of the circumference of the nerve.
