Abstract
A body-implantable lead includes an electrical conductor encased in inert, insulating material. The lead terminates at one end with an exposed electrode tip. A first set of tines is positioned about the lead nearest the electrode tip, the tines having a length less than the tines of a second set positioned about the lead and more remote from the electrode tip than the first set. The tines of the first set may also carry fins which extend toward the electrode tip to facilitate lead insertion. The tines may also be disposed in longitudinal or spiral rows along the lead.
