Abstract
A method is provided for constructing a mechanically strong and fluid tight assembly of an electrode along the length of an implantable lead, such as those leads suitable for cardiac pacing and diagnosis and the like. In the preferred embodiment, a short annular sheath polymeric tube is closely positioned over a coiled insulated conductor, an electrode is positioned over the short annular sheath, and a section of the insulating sheath of the lead is positioned over a flange of the electrode and sealed to a shape that is substantially isodiametric with the electrode surface.
