Patent ID: 7286884

Claim:
A medical electrical lead, comprising: a lead body including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including a first lumen and a second lumen extending lengthwise therein and the second portion including a first lumen and a second lumen extending lengthwise therein; a sensor capsule; an adaptor coupled to the lead body and holding the sensor capsule in between the first portion of the lead body and the second portion of the lead body, the adaptor comprising: a proximal end adjacent a first end of the sensor capsule, a distal end adjacent a second end of the sensor capsule, a middle portion extending alongside the sensor capsule, a first open-sided channel extending from the first lumen of the first portion of the lead body to the first lumen of the second portion of the lead body through the proximal end, the middle portion and the distal portion of the adaptor; a second open-sided channel extending along the middle portion of the adaptor: a proximal lumen within the proximal end of the adaptor including a proximal opening communicating with the second lumen of the first portion of the lead body and extending from the proximal opening to the second open-sided channel; and a distal lumen within the distal end of the adaptor including a distal opening communicating with the second lumen of the second portion of the lead body and extending from the second open-sided channel to the distal opening: a first conductor extending within the first lumen of the first portion of the lead body, the first open-sided channel of the adaptor and the first lumen of the second portion of the lead body; and a second conductor extending within the second lumen of the first portion of the lead body, the proximal lumen of the adaptor, the second open-sided channel of the adaptor, the distal lumen of the adaptor and the second lumen of the second portion of the lead body.
