US Patent 7801622 Medical electrical lead and delivery system

A medical electrical lead having an elongated lead body extending from a proximal end to a distal end, a first electrode positioned at the distal end of the lead body, a second electrode spaced proximally from the first electrode, the second electrode being a flexible conductive coil and having a distal end. A first electrode sleeve is coupled to the first electrode, and a second electrode sleeve is coupled to the second electrode and positioned within the proximal end of the lead body and proximal the distal end of the second electrode to provide flexibility in a distal lead body portion.
