Patent ID: 8676343

Claim:
A method of forming a multi-electrode lead, the method including the steps of: a. providing an elongated core having: (1) a length extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and (2) a nonconductive exterior surface; b. forming conductive tracks on the core's exterior surface, wherein the step of forming the conductive tracks includes the steps of: i. forming a conductive layer about the core's exterior surface, and ii. removing portions of the conductive layer to define the conductive tracks, and wherein the tracks: (1) extending along the core's exterior surface from locations nearer the core's proximal end, and (2) terminating in electrodes at locations nearer the core's distal end; c. forming a nonconductive outer layer covering: (1) the tracks, except for the electrodes thereon, and (2) the core's exterior surface adjacent the tracks.
