Claim Text:
1. A multi-conductor guidewire, comprising: a) an elongate core wire having a core wire length extending from a proximal core wire end to a distal core wire end, wherein the core wire defines an exterior core wire surface having a circumference; b) a first insulative material supported on the exterior core wire surface; c) at least two electrical conductors supported on the first insulative material, wherein the electrical conductors extend from a proximal conductor end at or adjacent to the proximal core wire end to a distal conductor end at or adjacent to the distal core wire end; d) at least two couplers electrically connected to respective ones of the proximal conductor ends, wherein the couplers are configured to be electrically connected to an external electrical device; e) at least two electrical contacts electrically connected to respective ones of the distal conductor ends, wherein the electrical contacts are configured for contact with body tissue, and f) wherein the at least two electrical conductors are circumferentially separated from each other extending from their respective coupler to their respective electrical contact.
