摘要: Medical electrical leads for sensing or electrical stimulation of body organs or tissues, particularly implantable cardiac leads for delivering pacing pulses and cardioversion/defibrillation shocks, and/or sensing the cardiac electrogram (EGM) or other physiologic data and their methods of fabrication are disclosed. A lead body sheath is co-extruded in a co-extrusion process using bio-compatible, electrically insulating, materials of differing durometers in differing axial sections thereof, resulting in a unitary lead body sheath having differing stiffness sections including axial segments or webs or lumen encircling rings or other structures in its cross-section. The lead body sheath is co-extruded to have an outer surface adapted to be exposed to the environment or to be enclosed within an outer sheath and to have a plurality of lead conductor lumens for receiving and enclosing a like plurality of lead conductors of the same or differing types. The lead body sheath can be co-extruded of a plurality of sheath segments containing a lead conductor lumen and formed of a first durometer material or of differing durometer materials. A web of a further durometer material can be co-extruded extending between the adjoining boundaries of the axial sheath segments and bonding the adjacent segments together. The lead body sheath can be tailored to exhibit differing bending stiffnesses away from the lead body sheath axis in selected polar directions around 360° circumference of the sheath body.

摘要: A medical electrical lead having a multiple conductors located within an elongated lead body which is provided with multiple conductor lumens each containing a conductor and with at least one compression lumen which does not contain a conductor. The conductor lumens are spaced from one another by a first, minimum spacing and the compression lumen or lumens are located intermediate the conductor lumens and are spaced from the conductor lumens by a second, minimal spacing of less then said first minimum spacing. The centers of the compression lumens are located along lines which pass through the both the center of a conductor lumen and the center of the lead body. The arrangement of the conductor and compression lumens enhances the lead's ability to survive crushing forces such as applied by the first rib and clavicle.
