PROCESS FOR ELECTRICALLY CONTACTING A COATED LEAD WITH A PARTICLE

In general, the present invention relates generally to a process for electrically contacting a coated lead. More specifically, the invention relates to a process, an electrically contacted lead and a medical device comprising an electrically contacted lead. The present invention relates to a process for electrically contacting a coated lead comprising the following steps: a. Providing a coated lead comprising an electrically conductive core and an electrically insulating coating; b. Providing a via hole in the electrically insulating coating in order to expose a section of the electrically conductive core; c. Introducing a first electrically conductive material into the via hole such that it contacts at least a part of the exposed section of the electrically conductive core; d. Applying a further electrically conductive material to the coated lead such that it contacts at least a part of the first conductive material.
