ABSTRACT:
A medical lead which has a reinforced tine assembly. In particular, the medical electrical lead of the present invention features an elongated lead body covered by an insulative sheath. Positioned upon the proximal end of the lead body is a terminal assembly. Terminal assembly permits the lead to be connected to a pulse generator. Positioned at the distal end of the lead body is an electrode. Also positioned proximate the electrode is a tine assembly. The tine assembly is preferably made from a insulative bio-compatible material, preferably silicone. The tine assembly further features a reinforcement to prevent the tine assembly from elongating. In the preferred embodiment, a polyester is used to provide reinforcement member.
