Abstract
An exemplary electrode lead includes a flexible body formed of a flexible insulating material, an electrode contact disposed on a side of the flexible body, a coiled electrode wire provided within the flexible body so as to extend along a length of the flexible body and electrically connect the electrode contact to a signal source, and a coiled reinforcing element provided within the flexible body so as to extend together with the coiled electrode wire along the length of the flexible body. A winding direction of the coiled electrode wire is opposite a winding direction of the coiled reinforcing element and a winding pitch of the coiled electrode wire is smaller than a winding pitch of the coiled reinforcing element. Corresponding methods of manufacturing an electrode lead are also described.
