Abstract
An electrode lead is provided having a distal side and a circumferential surface, the electrode lead comprising a plurality of interlocked filaments having a conductive core coated with a nonconductive coating and at least one 3D distinct conductive mass at the distal end, wherein the filaments in the conductive mass are having an exposed conductive core and wherein a portion of the filaments with the exposed conductive core are disposed on the circumferential surface. The 3d pattern of spaced-apart regions along or within the electrode lead, each one is a network of spaced-apart conductive segments determining together critical parameters of: directionality of the region and electrical property of the region.

An electrode lead having a distal side with a circumferential surface, and a proximal side, the electrode lead comprising:
- a) a plurality of interlocked filaments having a conductive core coated with a nonconductive coating;
- and
- b) at least one 3D distinct conductive mass at the distal side, extending to a 3D conductive mass at the proximal side of the electrode lead constituting an electrode lead mating connector for connection of an electronic module, such that electrical signals can be transferred between said at least one 3D distinct conductive mass and said electronic module,
- wherein the filaments in said 3D conductive mass have an exposed conductive core and wherein a portion of the filaments with the exposed conductive core are disposed on the circumferential surface.
