MRI-SAFE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

A medical lead is provided for use in a pulse stimulation system of the type which includes a pulse generator (102) for producing electrical stimulation therapy. The lead comprises an elongate insulating body (120) and at least one electrical conductor (106) within the insulating body (120). The conductor has a proximal end configured to be electrically coupled to the pulse generator and has a DC resistance in the range of 375-2000 ohms. At least one distal electrode (114) is coupled to the conductor (106).
