12. The method of claim 11, wherein each electrode slot has two opposing slot extensions.
13. The method of claim 7, further comprising placing at least one ring electrode or tip electrode in the first mold, wherein molding an interior portion of a lead body further comprises molding the interior portion of the lead body between the segmented electrodes and the at least one ring electrode or tip electrode.
14. The method of claim 7, wherein individually inserting a plurality of segmented electrodes comprises forming at least one set of segmented electrodes from the plurality of segmented electrodes, wherein the segmented electrodes of each set are distributed circumferentially around the first mold at a same longitudinal position within the first mold.
15. A method of making an electrical stimulation lead, the method comprising:
individually inserting a plurality of segmented electrodes into a central cylinder of a first mold and within an outer body of the first mold;
forming a sacrificial ring around the segmented electrodes and in adhering contact with an outer surface of the segmented electrodes to form an intermediate structure;
inserting the intermediate structure into a second mold;
attaching a conductor wire to each of the segmented electrodes;
molding a lead body between the segmented electrodes disposed in the second mold;
removing the segmented electrodes and lead body from the second mold; and
removing the sacrificial ring to expose the outer surfaces of the segmented electrodes.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising placing at least one ring electrode in the second mold, wherein molding a lead body further comprises molding the lead body between the at least one ring electrode and the segmented electrodes.
17. The method of claim 15, further comprising placing a tip electrode in the second mold, wherein molding a lead body further comprises molding the lead body between the segmented electrodes and the tip electrode.
18. The method of claim 15, further comprising forming a plurality of sets of segmented electrodes from the plurality of segmented electrodes, wherein the segmented electrodes of each set are distributed circumferentially around the first mold at a same longitudinal position within the first mold and wherein forming a sacrificial ring around the segmented electrodes comprises forming an individual sacrificial ring around each of the sets of segmented electrodes.
