Zusammenfassung:An implantable medical electrical lead having an elongate lead body having a proximal end and a distal portion. A plurality of defibrillation electrodes coupled to the distal portion is included, the plurality of electrodes being transitionable from a first configuration in which the defibrillation electrodes are biased in an expanded configuration to a second configuration in which the defibrillation electrodes are in a collapsed configuration. A joint slideably disposed around a portion of the lead body is included, at least a portion of the plurality of defibrillation electrodes being coupled to the joint.
