Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/018252
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A temporary implantable medical device lead includes a connector configured to connect the lead to an external control module. A helically coiled conductor (40) includes a proximal end that is mechanically and electrically connected to the connector. The conductor includes a plurality of insulated (44a, 44b, 44c, 44d) filars (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d). An insulative layer is removed from an uninsulated portion of each of the filars near a distal end of the conductor. The uninsulated portion of each of the filars is exposed at an outer surface of the conductor such that the exposed uninsulated portions of the filars define a plurality of electrodes (46, 48) at longitudinally spaced sections near the distal end of the conductor.
