Abstract
The present invention provides an implantable electrical lead having a reduced diameter and a relatively low resistance. The lead includes a lead body having at least one conductor manufactured from drawn-filled-tubing and having an elongated cross-sectional shape to confer a high cross-sectional area relative to the conductors thickness. The lead body insulates the conductor from contact with the patient and in the case of a plurality of conductors isolates the conductors from one another. The lead body may also include a lumen extending from the lead body's proximal to distal ends.
