A stimulation lead includes a lead body having a longitudinal length, a distal portion, and a proximal portion terminals disposed along the proximal portion of the lead body an electrode carrier coupled to, or disposed along, the distal portion of the lead body segmented electrodes disposed along the electrode carrier and conductors extending along the lead body and coupling the segmented electrodes to the terminals. The electrode carrier includes a lattice region defining segmented electrode receiving openings. Each of the segmented electrodes extends around no more than 75% of a circumference of the lead and is disposed in a different one of the segmented electrode receiving openings of the electrode carrier.
