A medical electrical lead includes a first elongate plastic tube including an outer surface, a conductor extending within the first plastic tube, an electrode having an outer diameter, mounted exterior to the outer surface of the first tube and coupled to a distal portion of the conductor, and a second elongate plastic tube formed of a base polymer to which surface modifying end groups are attached. The second tube is mounted exterior to the outer surface of the first tube, extends from a point adjacent to the first electrode proximally, and has an outer diameter approximately equal to the outer diameter of the first electrode. |
