Abstract
The conductor is composed of at least one layer (2) of a material (A) that conducts electricity, said layer being applied to the outer face of the lateral wall of the tube (1) and being insulated by a non-conductive sheath (B) applied to the layer, In said conductive layer (2) forming, at the distal end of the tube, a distal ring (4) that matches the shape of the rounded distal end of N the tube and is not covered by the insulating sheath (B) of the layer, so as to form a neurostimulation contact, and said conductive layer (2) forming, at the proximal end of the tube, a proximal ring (3) that is not covered by the insulating sheath (B), so as to form an electrical connection.
