Abstract
A percutaneous neurological stimulation lead has at least a first lead body and a second lead body that interlock during implantation using interlocking elements. The first lead body has at least one first detail on the first lead body distal end that is configured to engage at least one second detail on the second lead body distal end that is complimentary to the first detail to mechanically couple the first lead body to the second lead body. Many embodiments of the implantable neurological stimulation lead with interlocking elements and its methods of operation are possible.
