Abstract

A medical device lead includes a flexible body having a proximal region with a proximal end, and a distal region with a distal end. A connector is coupled to the proximal end of the flexible body of the lead to electrically and mechanically connect the lead to an implantable pulse generator. A composite wire having a proximal end is electrically coupled to the connector. The composite wire includes an inner conductor element and a plurality of outer conductor elements adjacent to and radially spaced from the inner conductor element. A distal end of each of the inner conductor element and the plurality of outer conductor elements is connected to one of a plurality of electrodes in the distal region of the flexible body.
