Abstract
An implantable medical lead includes a lead body, an electrode, a lead electrical connector, and a rotational electrical coupling. The lead electrical connector is configured to establish electrical communication between a test device and the electrode. The rotational electrical coupling includes a first conductive component electrically connected to the electrode and a second conductive component electrically connected to the first conductive component. The second conductive component is configured to establish electrical communication with the test device. The rotational electrical coupling is configured to facilitate rotation of the first conductive component relative to the second conductive component.
