Cardiac lead coil stripping

摘要

An implantable lead may have a distal assembly including a coupler, a terminal pin and a conductive member rotatably secured to both the coupler and the terminal pin. The conductive member may include a coating that is at least partially removed before securing the conductive member to the coupler and the terminal pin. The coating may be removed in a process combining, in sequence, an IR laser and a UV laser.
