Abstract: An electrode lead set is provided for electrical connection to a body. The electrode lead set includes a flexible ribbonized cable core extending between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The distal end portion includes a plurality of branch end portions that are each configured to hold an electrode. The flexible ribbonized cable core is separable into a plurality of branches that are each joined to adjacent branches by a separable interface prior to separation. Each of the plurality of branches includes a corresponding one of the branch end portions. Each of the plurality of branches includes a generally planar ribbon conductor extending along the corresponding branch from the proximal end portion of the ribbonized cable core to the corresponding branch end portion.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging probe assembly (2) has control cables (13, 14) extending along an inner core (5) of a cable assembly (1), an ultrasound imaging transducer assembly (1') connected with signal transmitting conductors (10) in the inner core (5), the cable assembly (1) having a compression resistant armor (6) slidably receiving the inner core (5), the inner core (5) having respective sheaths (11) receiving the control cables (13, 14) and the signal transmitting conductors (10) in the inner core (5) urge the control cables (14) along respective orthogonal axes centered on a central axis of the cable assembly (1).

Abstract: An electrical cable with, multiple conductors, a dense braid encircling the conductors, a sealant sheath encircling the dense braid, an open braid encircling the sealant sheath, and a sealant layer covering the open braid and entering interstices in the open braid to bond to the sealant sheath.

Abstract: A flexible cable assembly (1) is constructed with flexible and hollow armor (2) lying limply within an air gap (3) in a flexible outer jacket (4), multiple coaxial cables (5) lying limply within an air gap (6) in the armor (2), a coupling (7) for connection to a medical instrument (9), the coupling (7) being secured to an end of the armor (2) and an end of the jacket (4), with the cables (5) extending through the coupling (7) for connection to the medical instrument (9).
