Claim Text:
1. An implantable biomedical conductor assembly configured for at least partial insertion in a living body, comprising: an inner tubular structure; an outer tubular structure generally surrounding the inner tubular structure so that a gap of less than or equal to 0.030 inches exists between the inner tubular structure and the outer tubular structure; and a dynamic coil located in the gap, the dynamic coil comprising a plurality of insulated conductors coiled below a yield point of the insulated conductors, the dynamic coil being permitted to expand within the gap to engage an inner surface of the outer tubular structure in an expanded coiled configuration, at least one mechanical restraint being located at or near each of a distal end and a proximal end of the outer tubular structure to retain the dynamic coil between at least portions of the inner tubular structure and the outer tubular structure in the coiled configuration below the yield point of the insulated conductors; wherein free ends of the insulated conductors extend beyond the proximal and distal ends of the outer tubular structure and are attached to corresponding connectors and electrodes, the free ends being relaxed from the coiled configuration into a substantially straight configuration.
