Abstract
A multipolar electrode lead, of the type used to deliver electrical energy in vivo to tissue as part of a system for medical electrotherapy, contains at least first and second conductors, with at least the first conductor being provided with an insulating coating which electrically separates the conductors from each other. The risk of the insulating coating being worn off and a short-circuit developing are reduced by forming the insulating coating of a material having a high electrical resistance and a resistance to abrasion.
