Abstract
An electrode assembly is provided having an active power element and a current return element extending through a flexible multilumen tube to be electrically insulated from each other. The active power element extends through the multilumen tube and terminates in a 'J-hook' and is connected to a conductive power contact through a constructed form fit. The return element extends through the multilumen tube and directly connects to a power return contact, thus eliminating any joints in the electrical path.
