Patent ID: 8554320

Claim:
A medical implantable lead for monitoring and/or controlling an organ inside a human or animal body, comprising a first electrode at a distal end of the lead adapted to be in contact with tissue of the organ, a connector at a proximal end of the lead adapted to be connected to a monitoring and/or controlling device, a conducting arrangement comprising a first conducting coil of at least one electrically conducting wire to connect the first electrode electrically to the connector to receive and/or transmit electric signals from and to the tissue, respectively, and a flexible tubing surrounding the lead from the proximal to the distal end, wherein the lead is tapered at a distal portion and has a smaller cross sectional dimension at the distal portion than at the rest of the lead, wherein the first conducting coil is terminated at a termination point on a distance from the distal end, and in that the conducting arrangement also comprises a first end conductor, in form of a cable, which connects the first electrode electrically with the first conducting coil.
