Claim 0:
1. A stimulation lead, the stimulation lead comprising:
a lead body having a distal end and a proximal end and defining a plurality of conductor lumens extending along the lead body;
a plurality of electrically conductive first contacts disposed along a first one of the distal end or the proximal end of the lead body, wherein a portion of each of the conductor lumens is disposed radially beneath the first contacts;
a plurality of electrically conductive second contacts disposed along a second one of the distal end or the proximal end of the lead body that is different from the first one;
a plurality of conductor wires disposed in the conductor lumens, wherein each of the conductor wires is electrically connected to at least one first contact and to at least one second contact, wherein a portion of each of the conductor wires is disposed radially beneath at least one of the first contacts; and
a solid, non-conductive monofilament disposed in a void space in each of the conductor lumens beneath the first contacts that is not occupied by the conductor wires, wherein at least a portion of the non-conductive monofilament is radially disposed beneath at least one of the first contacts.
