Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a medical use electrical lead, the method comprising: (i) providing an elongate, flexible, cylindrical inner member of a polymeric material; (ii) arranging at least one elongate electrical conductor on an exposed outer surface of the inner member; (iii) overlaying the inner member and the at least one electrical conductor with a flexible outer member made from a polymeric material such that the at least one electrical conductor is covered by said outer member; (iv) removing a part of the outer member to expose at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor; and (v) applying an electrically conductive material to the outer member to form an electrically conductive region on an outer surface of the outer member, the electrically conductive region being in electrical communication with the at least one electrical conductor through at least one hole formed by removal of the part of the outer member.
