Abstract
A neural stimulating lead including a stabilizing mechanism. The stabilizing mechanism comprises two pairs of parallel laterally projecting vanes and an extendible tine adapted to be extended to apply pressure against a dorsal surface of a vertebrum to force and hold an electrode assembly of the neural stimulating lead against a spinal cord. The tine is extendible through a port in the electrode surface from a retracted position within the lead body to an extended position by pulling on an actuating cable which is attached at one end to the tine and which has its other end extending from a connector portion on a proximal end of the lead.
