1. A process to manufacture an implantable cable, said process comprising the steps of:

  • establishing a plurality of grooves on a first fluoropolymer film layer;

    positioning biocompatible conductor wires into one or more of said grooves;

    applying heat to confine said wires into said grooves;

    depositing a second fluoropolymer layer on said first fluoropolymer film layer with said confined wires to form a first structure;

    creating a second structure with outer surfaces by encapsulating said confined wires with said first and second fluoropolymer layers in said first structure through application of heat;

    undulating said second structure;

    activating said outer surfaces of the said second structure to form a final structure; and

    encapsulating said final structure with silicone to form said implantable cable.
