摘要： A cochlear stimulation lead and method of making a curved electrode array are provided. In one embodiment of the lead, while the curved section of the lead is curled further beyond its originally molded curvature and held in this position, a filling channel is filled with a filling material that is hardened or cured in this held position. The resulting lead has a tip curvature that is more curved than the originally molded curvature.
摘要翻译：提供了一种人工耳蜗刺激引线和制作弯曲电极阵列的方法。在引线的一个实施例中，当引线的弯曲部分被卷曲进一步超出其初始模制曲率并保持在该位置时，填充通道填充有在该保持位置被硬化或固化的填充材料。所得到的引线具有比最初模制曲率更弯曲的尖端曲率。

摘要： A cochlear stimulation lead having a pre-curved electrode array is provided. The molding process provides memory to the curved part of the lead. The lead may be made having a stylet insertion channel that extends from a slightly curved or substantially straight section and into the highly curved section of the lead. Because high compliance is desired for the lead in cochlear stimulation applications, the compliance is controlled not only by the taper at the distal end of the lead and overall lead thickness, but also by choosing the material hardness of the lead carrier/covering and employing compliant zigzagged conductor wire. In addition, differential lead compliance/stiffness can be achieved by using a stiff tubing that forms part of the stylet insertion channel.
摘要翻译：提供具有预弯曲电极阵列的耳蜗刺激引线。模制过程为铅的弯曲部分提供记忆。引线可以制成具有从略微弯曲或基本上直的部分延伸到引线的高度弯曲部分的探针插入通道。由于耳蜗刺激应用中的铅需要高度依从性，所以顺应性不仅受铅的远端的锥度和整体铅厚度的控制，而且还通过选择引线载体/覆盖物的材料硬度并采用顺应性曲折导线。此外，通过使用形成探针插入通道的一部分的硬管可以实现差动引线顺从/刚度。

摘要： An insertion tool uses a stylet wire to help guide an electrode system into a cochlea. The insertion tool includes three main elements or parts: a handle, a guide and a slider. The handle is made from light stainless steel tube flattened in front with a machined slot. The guide consists of a plurality of metal tubes, fixed to each other within a holding bracket. In one embodiment, the slider includes a stabilizer wire, a long stylet wire, and a short stylet wire. During the assembly process, the stabilizer and stylet wires are inserted into respective tubes of the guide and the end of the stabilizer wire is bent to form an offset. The electrode system is loaded onto the tool by inserting the short stylet wire into a holder that supports the electrode lead.
摘要翻译：插入工具使用探针线来帮助引导电极系统进入耳蜗。插入工具包括三个主要元件或部件：手柄，引导件和滑块。手柄由轻质不锈钢管制成，前面带有加工槽。引导件由多个金属管组成，其在固定支架内相互固定。在一个实施例中，滑块包括稳定线，长针刺线和短探针线。在组装过程中，将稳定器和探针线插入到引导件的相应管中，并且稳定线的端部弯曲以形成偏移。通过将短的针刺线插入支撑电极引线的支架中，将电极系统装载到工具上。
