Abstract
An electrically conductive member includes an elongate body, which has at least one electrically conductive region. The electrically conductive region comprises a porous polymeric material coated with an electrically conductive material. A method of manufacturing the electrically conductive member includes the steps of extruding an elongate body of polymeric material, wherein at least one region of the elongate body is porous in nature; and coating the elongate body with an electrically conductive material, such that the electrically conductive material substantially coats the pores of the at least one region.
Claims9
An electrical lead, including:
- an elongate body of a polymeric material, the elongate body comprising an inner member and an outer member arranged around the inner member;
- at least one electrical conductor positioned between the inner member and the outer member so that the outer member overlies the at least one electrical conductor, at least a portion of the at least one electrical conductor not being overlaid by the outer member;
- and
- a coating of an electrically conductive material applied to an outer surface of the elongate body at least in the region of the at least one portion of the at least one electrical conductor not overlaid by the outer member so that the coating coats at least the at least one portion of the at least one electrical conductor to define at least one electrically conductive region on the elongate body.
