Electrical lead for an electronic device such as an implantable device

A method of stimulating patient tissue, comprising:

• providing a generator for generating one or more electrical pulses and a lead for delivering one or more electrical pulses to tissue within the patient's body, the lead comprising a plurality of pairs of adjacent segments of electrical wire, each pair comprising a first segment of electrical wire and a second segment of electrical wire, and a plurality of inductors, each inductor being provided between the first segment of electrical wire and the second segment of electrical wire of a respective one of the plurality of pairs of adjacent segments, each inductor having a first end operatively coupled to the first segment of electrical wire and a second end operatively coupled to the second segment of electrical wire of the respective one of the plurality of pairs of adjacent segments, wherein each inductor is configured and arranged to trap an electromagnetic field within a confined area in order to resist penetration of an external electromagnetic field into the confined area;
• implanting at least a portion of the lead in the patient;
• operatively coupling the generator to the lead;
• and
• generating one or more electrical pulses at the generator and delivering the one or more electrical pulses through the lead to tissue adjacent the lead.
