  • “Medical electrode lead”
    Patent number: 6728579
    Abstract: A member for modifying the stiffness of a cardiac electrode lead is flexible and elongated and contains a longitudinal cavity extending along the member. The member has an interior cross-sectional dimension defined by the cavity and an exterior cross-sectional dimension allowing the member to be withdrawably positionable in a channel of an electrode lead. The interior cross-sectional dimension of the member allows a guide wire to be movable therein. The extent of the guide wire disposed in the cavity allows selective setting of the stiffness of the member, and therefore the stiffness of the electrode lead in which the member is disposed.
