IMPLANTABLE LEAD WITH IMPROVED DISTAL TIP

An implantable lead for a medical device with an improved distal tip eliminates the need for a separate component distal tip that can become detached during implantation or use and seals distal tip conductor lumens to maintain lead integrity. The implantable lead comprises a comprising: a lead body...

Zusammenfassung:	An implantable lead for a medical device with an improved distal tip eliminates the need for a separate component distal tip that can become detached during implantation or use and seals distal tip conductor lumens to maintain lead integrity. The implantable lead comprises a comprising: a lead body having a proximal end and a distal end, at least two conductors, at least two contacts carried on the proximal end, at least two contacts carried on the distal end, and a distal tip. The lead body has a stylet lumen and at least two conductor lumens. The conductors are contained in the conductor lumens and extend from the lead proximal end to the distal end. The two contacts carried on the proximal end are electrically connected to the conductors. The distal tip is formed on the lead body distal end, and the distal tip seals the conductor lumens free from adhesive.
