A MEDICAL IMPLANTABLE LEAD AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a medical implantable lead of the kind being adapted to be implanted into a human or animal body for monitoring and/or controlling of an organ (2) inside the body. The lead (3) comprising a fixation means (6) in a distal end, which is adapted to fixate a distal end of the lead (3) to the organ, an electrode member (6) in the distal end adapted to be in contact with tissue of the organ and receive and/or transmit electrical signals from and/or to the organ, and at least one electrically conducting coil (8, 9), which includes one or more electrically conducting helical wires (11) and which is adapted to connect the electrode member in the distal end with a monitoring and/or controlling device (1) in a proximal end of the lead. The one or more individual wires (11) of the coil comprises a wire core (12) which is provided with a surrounding electrically insulating layer (13), which in its turn is provided with a surrounding electrically conducting shield layer (14), and the coil is close-lapped such that electrically conducting shield layers of adjacent loops of the coil are in electrical contact with each other.
