Abstract: Polymeric tubing having an outer surface with a reduced coefficient of friction. The outer surface is treated by an exposure to a plasma glow discharge in the presence of an inert gas, and by deposition of a monomer during exposure to the plasma glow discharge for a time sufficient to modify the slip characteristics of the surface of the tube. The tube is preferably exposed to plasma glow discharge for a time sufficient to reduce the coefficient of friction by at least 70%. The tubing may be fabricated of silicone rubber, and the monomer deposited may be N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.

Abstract: An implantable electrode type lead assembly 10 of the flexible type which is particularly adapted for implantation in the cardiac tissue for applications such as use with a pacemaker. The lead assembly has an electrode head 40 which includes a fixation spiral for implantation into tissue. The spiral or rotation action of the electrode head 40 is controlled by means of an elongated torsionally wound electrical coil conductor 14, the coil extending through the lead from the proximal to the distal end thereof and carried within a silicone tube 24 which is co-extensive therewith, the tube having been especially treated to modify the slip characteristics of the internal diameter (ID) thereof for high efficiency torque transfer.
