Claims31
A medical thread structure, comprising:
- a. a proximal end and a distal end, with a progression axis from the proximal end to the distal end;
- and
- b. a plurality of threads aligned vertically, in parallel to the progression axis, at said proximal end, structured to each have horizontal portions, perpendicular to the progression axis, and vertical portions, parallel to the progression axis, such that a horizontal portion of one thread is configured to pass between vertical portions of other threads, thereby interlocking therewith,
- wherein a horizontal portion of one or more threads passing between vertical portions of other threads is a beat, and each beat determines a vertical distance along the progression axis between said proximal end and said distal end;
- and wherein at least one of said plurality of threads comprises electrically conductive portions coated with an electrically isolative layer, and electrically conductive portions exposed at predetermined locations for achieving a contact thereat.

A medical thread structure, comprising:
- a longitudinal lead body formed of a plurality of threads, at least one of said plurality of threads has an electrically conductive portion;
- a functional material integrally incorporated between at least part of said plurality of threads;
- and wherein said functional material is configured to form insulation areas in said thread structure.
A medical thread structure, comprising:
- a longitudinal lead body formed of a plurality of threads, at least one of said plurality of threads has an electrically conductive portion, said longitudinal lead is arranged along a longitudinal axis;
- a functional material integrally formed with said plurality of threads and located circumferentially around at least a portion of said longitudinal lead body at a certain location along the longitudinal extent of said longitudinal lead body,
- wherein said functional material is configured to form insulation areas on said thread structure.
