Abstract
A pacing lead for a cardiac stimulator that includes an elongated flexible insulating lead body. An electrode is attached to the lead body at its distal end. An elongated conductor extends through a lumen of the elongated lead body for connecting the electrode to the terminal pin. The conductor is in the form of a coiled wire until it reaches approximate the electrode. It is then crimped to a cable conductor which in turn is crimped or welded to the electrode. The electrode is supported at the distal end by a molded support body which includes a lumen for a guide wire.
