Abstract
Defibrillator lead designs and methods for manufacturing a lead having attachment between a fibrosis-limiting material covering, a shocking coil electrode, and an implantable lead body are disclosed herein. An electrode coil fitting is disposed within the shocking coil electrode. In an option, the fibrosis limiting material extends past the ends of the electrode coil, and is wrapped between the coil electrode and the electrode coil member.
Claims8
A method comprising:
- forming a lead assembly including coating an external portion of at least one electrode coil with a coating of fibrosis limiting material, where the coating of fibrosis limiting material extends past end portions of the electrode coil;
- disposing the electrode coil over an electrode coil fitting and anchoring the fibrosis limiting material between the electrode coil and the electrode coil fitting;
- coupling the at least one electrode coil with at least one conductor;
- and
- disposing insulative lead body over at least a portion of the at least one conductor and adjacent to the electrode coil and coating.
