A splined multilumen body for use in elongated medical devices is provided
for carrying multiple conductors, wires or cables to multiple device
components along the device body. Open lumens may be provided through
which medical devices or therapies may be delivered. The multilumen body
is constructed from a generally tubular outer member having
inward-radiating splines that mate with outward-radiating splines on a
generally tubular inner member. Lumens formed between sets of mated
splines isolate conductors carried therein. Interaction of mated splines
provides good torque transfer between outer and inner members. Materials
for fabricating outer and inner members may be selected to achieve
desired torque transfer properties, flexibility, and surface friction.
