ABSTRACT:
An implantable lead having a body defining an uneven outer surface and a wire carried by the outer surface to form convolutions arranged so that portions of each convolution are displaced from the outer surface. The body may include a hollow core which carries beads so that stretching in the direction of a central axis is inhibited and drug infusion is facilitated. Alternatively, the body may take the form of a helix so that stretching of the lead in the direction of the central axis is facilitated.
