Abstract
A method of manufacture of a medical device lead. The lead includes one or more jacketed conductive elements. The jacket comprises one or more covers. The jacketed conductive element is formed by introducing a polymeric material over a conductive element, coupling the conductive element around a mandrel to form a coil shape, annealing the polymeric material over the at least one conductive element and setting a coiled shape in the at least one conductive element; and then removing the at least one conductive element from the mandrel. The coiled conductive element as manufactured thus substantially retains its original coiled shape.
