Implantable medical leads and methods of forming such leads are disclosed. An implantable medical lead includes a lead body, a swage base coupled to the lead body, and a polymeric member interposed at least in part between the swage base and at least one rigid component of the lead such as an electrode or annular ring. The swage base includes an annular-shaped body including a flange having a number of protrusions that extend radially outward from the flange. During a swaging process, the protrusions on the flange are compressed against the polymeric member, forming a number of channels in the member that mechanically bond the member to the swage base.

One aspect relates to a system for stacking electrodes. In various embodiments, the system comprises a working surface, a device to stack foil electrodes on the working surface during an assembly process to form an electrode stack, and a magnetic source to apply a magnetic field proximate to the working surface. The magnetic field influences at least some of the electrodes and holds the electrode stack to the working surface during the assembly process. A second aspect relates to a process for stacking electrodes. In various embodiments, the process comprises forming an electrode stack proximate to a working surface during an assembly process. The electrode stack includes two or more foil electrodes, at least one of which is magnetic. The process provides a magnetic field to influence the at least one magnetic electrode and holds the one or more electrodes to the working surface. Other aspects are provided herein.

A feedthrough assembly is disposable in an aperture of, for example, a power source encasement. In various examples, the feedthrough assembly comprises a ferrule, an insulator, a terminal conductor, and a sleeve. A portion of the terminal conductor extends through the ferrule thereby creating a portion internal to and a portion external to the encasement. The insulator is disposed within the ferrule and is sealably engaged with the terminal conductor portion extending through the ferrule. The sleeve is disposed over the internal portion of the terminal conductor and coupled thereto. In one example, the sleeve includes at least one notch on a sleeve first end or a sleeve second end, which may be used to weld or solder the sleeve to the terminal conductor. In another example, the sleeve includes a longitudinally extending void, which may be used to crimp the sleeve to the terminal conductor.
