Abstract
Ring electrode for a bipolar pacing lead where the ring electrode is secured to an outer coiled conductor by swaging the outer coiled conductor between the ring electrode and a swaging core where the distal end of the outer coiled conductor positions over the swaging core and into the ring electrode. The outer coiled conductor is mechanically swaged between the ring electrode and the swaging core resulting in a mechanical and electrical joint. Insulation extends over the outer ends of the ring electrode and yields a bond to the ring electrode having substantially the same outer diameter as the ring electrode.
