Abstract
Embodiments include an implantable electrical line with at least one helically wound electrical conductor, an electrically conductive sleeve electrically connected to the electrical conductor, and an electrical filter. The electrical filter is arranged between a proximal and a distal longitudinal portion of a helix formed by the at least one helically wound electrical conductor as viewed in a longitudinal direction of the implantable electrical line, and is also arranged within the electrically conductive sleeve as viewed in a radial direction of the implantable electrical line.
Claims14
An implantable electrical line comprising:
- at least one helically wound electrical conductor;
- at least one electrically conductive sleeve electrically connected to the at least one helically wound electrical conductor;
- and,
- at least one electrical filter;
- wherein the at least one electrical filter is arranged between a proximal longitudinal portion and a distal longitudinal portion of a helix formed by the at least one helically wound electrical conductor in a longitudinal direction of the implantable electrical line, and
- wherein the at least one electrical filter is further arranged within the at least one electrically conductive sleeve in a radial direction of the implantable electrical line.
A method of producing an electrode line with at least one electrode pole and at least one electrical filter, wherein the method comprises:
- untwisting a co-radial coil feed line at a location of the at least one electrode pole,
- cutting a conductor of the co-radial coil feed line, such that cut line ends are produced,
- freeing the cut line ends from insulation,
- inserting at least one electrical filter where the co-radial coil feed line is untwisted,
- electrically contacting the at least one electrical filter with the cut line ends of the cut conductor freed from insulation,
- sliding on at least one electrically conductive sleeve forming a subsequent electrode pole, such that the at least one electrical filter is located within the at least one electrically conductive sleeve,
- contacting the at least one electrically conductive sleeve, and,
- insulating exposed wires and contact points in the region of the at least one electrode pole.
