Abstract
A leadless neurostimulation device including a header unit having at least one primary electrode having a contact surface that defines an external surface on a side of the device, an outer housing that forms a side of the header unit opposite of the contact surface of the primary electrode, and a dielectric mount that receives at least a portion of the primary electrode and at least partially surrounds the primary electrode, the dielectric mount being configured to electrically insulate the primary electrode from the outer housing, the dielectric mount being received and fixed within a recessed portion of the outer housing, and a housing having a secondary electrode positioned on the same side of the leadless neurostimulation device as the primary electrode, the primary electrode and the secondary electrode being configured to transmit an electrical stimulation signal therebetween to provide electrical stimulation therapy to a tibial nerve of a patient.
