ABSTRACT:
An implantable lead for electrical stimulation of the body includes an elongated multi-lumen proximal tube composed of a first material having a first lumen for freely receiving a guidewire therethrough, a cable conductor extending between proximal and distal ends and received in a second lumen of the proximal tube, an elongated distal tube composed of a second material extending between proximal and distal ends having at least one lumen therein, a distal tip electrode attached to the distal end of the distal tube, a coil conductor received in the lumen of the distal tube extending between the proximal end thereof and the distal end thereof and being joined at the distal end to the distal tip electrode, and a joint assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting the distal end of the cable conductor to the proximal end of the coil conductor.
