Four
thin insulated coiled bundle of wires coved by polyurethance insulation is designed
for the Leads -
The end of each wire is 1.5mm electrodes result
in total of 4 electrodes at the tip of the lead.
-
Either one of these electode or combination of
them deliver stimulationThere are currently two models of
leads available for Activa:
-
Model 3387 with 4 electodes with 1.5 mm space in
between
-
Model 3389 with 4 electrodes with .5 mm space
apart
-
The lead is 40 cm long with straight shape
design
-
Diameter of the lead is 1.27 mm
-
4 total electrodes is used
-
Electrode shape is cylindrical
-
In both models electrodes are 1.5 m long
-
4 conductor wires are used
In both design lead is made especially
for the brain stimulation with:
-
Firm tungsten style which allows the accurate
targeting and placement
-
The tip is soft to allow passing trough tissues
-
Bur hole ring and cap is also considered for the
secure anchorage.
