Abstract
A stimulation lead assembly for making a lead includes a lead body defining a central lumen extending along the lead body and multiple conductor lumens disposed circumferentially around the central lumen and extending along the lead body; electrically conductive contacts disposed along an end of the lead body with a portion of each of the conductor lumens disposed radially underneath the conductive contacts conductor wires disposed in the conductor lumens with at least one of the conductor wires electrically connected to each conductive contact; and a solid, non-conductive material disposed, at least in part, radially underneath the conductive contacts within portions of the conductor lumens not occupied by conductor wire.
