摘要：
An insertion kit for an electrical stimulation system includes a lead with a lead body and a jacket disposed over at least a portion of the lead body. Apertures are defined along an outer surface of the lead body with each of the apertures extending completely through the jacket to an inner surface. The apertures include at least one first aperture. Conductors electrically couple electrodes and terminals disposed along the lead. Conductor insulation is disposed over each of the conductors. At least a portion of the conductor insulation is in fluid communication with the local environment external to the lead via the apertures. A fluid-insertion assembly is configured and arranged for inputting fluid into the lead, via the at least one first aperture, prior to implantation of the lead into the patient.
