1. A method for making a flexible elongate member for insertion into humans or animals, the method comprising the steps of:

  • first forming a flexible member having proximal and distal ends;

    second forming a circuit carrier comprising a substantially cylindrical electrical connector with at least one conductive band, the electrical connector having a first end portion that is flush with a second end portion;

    first attaching an electrical device in proximity to the distal end of the flexible member;

    interconnecting an electrical conductor to the electrical device;

    third forming an electrically conductive bond between the electrical conductor and a conductive path on the circuit carrier comprising the at least one conductive band; and

    second attaching the substantially cylindrical electrical connector in proximity to the proximal end of the flexible member.
