Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Exemplary systems and methods for loading a pre-curved electrode array onto a straightening member are described herein. An exemplary system may include a loading tool including a housing and a slider member disposed at least partially within the housing. The slider member may be slidable from a first position to a second position and configured to move a pre-curved electrode array from a curved configuration to a straightened configuration as it slides from the first position to the second position. The exemplary system may also include a straightening member configured to be inserted into the pre-curved electrode array. Corresponding methods are also described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for loading a lead comprising a pre-curved electrode array onto a straightening member, the system comprising: a loading tool comprising a housing, and a slider member disposed at least partially within the housing and slidable relative to the housing from a first position to a second position, wherein in the first position an interior surface of the housing and a portion of the slider member that is disposed within the housing define a recess co…
