摘要：
A spinal cord stimulator device, including an implantation paddle, a connection segment and an encapsulant. The implantation paddle includes at least one pair of electrode stimulation pads, each of the electrode stimulation pads connected to ends of separate thin film electrode leads, wherein the electrode stimulation pads and the thin film electrode leads are sandwiched between softening polymer layers. The connection segment includes insulated wire leads, one end of each of the wire leads can be connected to contact pads on opposite ends of each one of the thin film leads at separated coupling joints. The encapsulant encompasses portions of the implantation paddle, including encompassing portions of the softening polymer layers surrounding the contact pads, the coupling joints and portions of the connection segment including portions of the wire leads next to the coupling joints. Methods of manufacturing device and using the device for spinal cord stimulation are also described.
