Abstract
An implantable medical lead is disclosed herein. The lead may include a body and an electrical pathway. The body may include a distal portion with an electrode and a proximal portion with a lead connector end. The electrical pathway may extend between the electrode and lead connector end and may include a coiled inductor including first and second electrically conductive filar cores. The first and second filar cores may be physically joined into a unified single piece proximal terminal on a proximal end of the coiled inductor. The first and second cores may be physically joined into a unified single piece distal terminal on a distal end of the coiled inductor. The first and second filar cores may be helically wound into a coiled portion between the proximal and distal terminals, the filar cores being electrically isolated from each other in the coiled portion. The proximal terminal may be electrically coupled to a portion of the electrical pathway extending to the lead connector end, and the distal terminal may be electrically coupled to a portion of the electrical pathway extending to the electrode.
