Abstract:
A microlead, of an overall diameter less than 0.5 mm, includes a plurality of at least eight conductor wires individually insulated and twisted together. Each conductor wire includes an electrically conductive core microcable and an insulation layer surrounding the core microcable and having at least one exposed area to form a detection/stimulation electrode of the microlead. The microlead further includes a central support structure shaped as a surface of revolution, which may be free of conductor wires and of central lumen. The conductor wires are configured in one or more layers of twisted peripheral conductor wires carried by the central support structure and circumferentially distributed thereon.

Claim (Index 13):
An implantable medical device, comprising:\n a generator structured to provide electrical stimulation; and a multipolar microlead for implantation in a cerebral venous system, comprising:\n a central support structure shaped in the form of a surface of revolution; and \n at least eight conductor wires individually insulated and twisted together, each conductor wire comprising:\n an electrically conductive core microcable comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion structured to connect to a pole of a generator of an active implantable medical device; \n an insulation layer surrounding the core microcable; and \n an exposed area formed in the insulation layer at the distal portion or the core microcable, the exposed area exposing a portion of the core microcable and forming an electrode of the microlead, \n \n the at least eight conductor wires arranged to form:\n a first layer of conductor wires twisted around the central support structure; \n a second layer of conductor wires twisted around the first layer of conductor wires; \n a proximal zone where the second layer of conductor wires are exposed to an exterior portion of the lead; and \n a distal zone where the first layer of conductor wires are exposed to the exterior portion of the lead, \n \n wherein the lead has an outer diameter less than 0.5 millimeters.
