Claim:
1. A temporary implantable medical device lead comprising: a connector configured to connect the lead to an external control module; and a helically coiled conductor having a proximal end mechanically and electrically connected to the connector, the conductor including a plurality of filars, a proximal electrode formed from a series of adjacent turns of the plurality of filars, an additional filar co-radially wound with the plurality of filars from the connector to the proximal electrode and further along the proximal electrode, and a distal electrode formed from the additional filar, wherein the plurality of filars are individually electrically insulated from the connector to the proximal electrode and are uninsulated and exposed along the proximal electrode such that the proximal electrode is defined at least in part by an exposed series of adjacent turns of the plurality of filars configured to provide stimulation to portions or systems of a body, wherein the additional filar is insulated from the connector to the distal electrode and is uninsulated and exposed along the distal electrode, and wherein the distal electrode is distal of the proximal electrode.
