The tubular body is semi-flexible, bi-directionally torqueable, and chemically resistant. The tubular body includes a plurality of routing holes provided between the proximal end and the distal end for facilitating deployment of electrodes from the tubular body. The tubular body further comprises an inner sheath generally at an interior portion and an outer sheath generally at an exterior portion and being chemically resistant.
