1. A method of fabricating a medical lead, comprising:

  • providing a body member having a wall, a proximal end portion, and a distal end portion, and having a first conductor and a second conductor embedded within the wall and extending between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion, the first and second conductors each spaced about the same distance from a longitudinal axis of the body member;

    forming a first opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the first conductor;

    forming a second opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the first conductor;

    forming a third opening in the wall in the distal end portion leading to the second conductor;

    forming a first conductive link in the first opening electrically connected to the first conductor;

    forming a second conductive link in the second opening electrically connected to the first conductor;

    forming a third conductive link in the third opening electrically connected to the second conductor;

    electrically connecting a first electrode, positioned at the distal end portion and proximate to the outer surface of the body member, to the first and second conductive links; and

    electrically connecting a second electrode, positioned at the distal end portion and proximate to the outer surface of the body member, to the third conductive link.
