1. An implantable medical lead comprising:

  • a substantially two-dimensional, generally planar bundle over at least a portion of a length of the medical lead, the bundle comprising a first lead body and a second lead body arranged side-by-side and defining the plane of the bundle;

    a plurality of conductive elements disposed within at least one of the first and second lead bodies, each conductive element extending between first and second conductive lead terminations for electrical connection between an electrode and a control device;

    wherein at least the portion of the bundle of the medical lead is extensible to increase flexibility of the medical lead by way of a non-linearly shaped length comprising a pattern that is two-dimensional substantially in the same plane as the bundle, the two-dimensional pattern including pattern portions that are elastically deformable in shape to permit the extensibility of at least a portion of the medical lead.
