1. A method of insulating a conductive element in a medical electrical lead comprising the ordered steps of:

  • introducing a polymeric material over at least one conductive element;

    wrapping helically the at least one conductive element around a mandrel; and

    thenwhile the at least one conductive element is wrapped around the mandrel, coupling the polymeric material over the at least one conductive element and thereby setting a coiled shape in the conductive element; and

    wherein coupling the polymeric material over the at least one conductive element includes shape setting the polymeric material and then thermally bonding a lower melting point second polymeric material previously introduced over a first polymeric material.
