An electrical medical lead is provided having two or more electrodes, electrically insulated from each other and electrically coupled to individually insulated filars in a multi-filar coiled conductor. When the lead is used with a medical device equipped with a switch matrix, electrodes are selected individually or simultaneously to serve as an anode or cathode in any unipolar, bipolar or multi-polar configuration for delivering stimulation and/or sensing signals in excitable tissue. In one embodiment, a tip electrode array is expandable for improving electrode contact with targeted tissue and stabilizing lead position.

L'invention concerne un câble électrique médical comprenant deux ou plusieurs électrodes électriquement isolées les unes des autres et électriquement couplées à des fils individuellement isolés dans un conducteur bobiné multifilaire. Lorsque ce câble est utilisé avec un dispositif médical équipé d'une matrice de commutation, les électrodes sont sélectionnées individuellement ou simultanément de sorte à servir d'anode ou de cathode dans une configuration unipolaire, bipolaire ou multipolaire quelconque en vue d'une distribution de signaux de stimulation et/ou de détection dans un tissu excitable. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'adaptabilité d'un ensemble d'électrodes d'extrémité permet d'améliorer le contact des électrodes avec le tissu ciblé et de stabiliser la position du câble.
