Abstract

A flexible electrode lead in particular for use with a medical implant comprises, an elongated electrode body with a proximal and a distal end, at least one conductor leading from the proximal towards the distal end of the electrode lead, a first ring element at the distal end of the electrode lead connected to the conductor and being positioned coaxially in the lead electrode body a second ring element spaced distally of the first ring element and being positioned coaxially in the lead electrode body, a coil conductor between the first and second ring element, wherein the coil conductor is adapted to form an inductance which is in parallel circuitry with the capacitor to form a filter element in the conductor, and the first ring element, the coil conductor and the second ring element comprise a central feedthrough for a guidance element for the electrode lead.
