Abstract

A system for implanting a medical electrical lead includes an elongated lead body and a relatively non-compliant lead extension joined to a proximal end of the proximal portion of the lead body. The lead body includes a plurality of connector rings positioned about a proximal portion of the lead body. The lead extension includes a plurality of temporary contact surfaces and a plurality of conductors wherein each conductor joins a temporary contact surface to a corresponding connector ring.
