Abstract
A medical implantable lead comprises a conduction controlling means, which at least during an initial stage after implantation is capable of rendering a first contact surface electrically inactive and which is capable of rendering the first contact surface electrically active after the initial stage. By means of the inventive lead it is possible to detect whether the helix is sufficiently screwed into the tissue or not.
