Abstract

See full text

An implantable lead device and method for implanting the lead, wherein the lead device electrically stimulates tissue within a patient's body and more particularly the lead device stimulates gastrointestinal tissue. The implantable lead may be inserted through the tissue with minimal expansion of the penetration tunnel and attached to the tissue being stimulated with minimal efforts or apparatus. The implantable lead has flexible properties thus minimizing the potential for electrode erosion, maximizing tissue compliance, and minimizing the mechanical stress concentration that may result in fatigue failure in the lead.
