A medical implantable lead has a proximal end and a distal end, a biostable and biocompatible polymeric header, which is arranged at the distal end and has a first tubular portion, a helical fixation element located within the first tubular portion and being extendable from a distal end of the header, and a radiopaque ring. The header further has a second tubular portion, which is arranged coaxially of the first tubular portion and is attached to the first tubular portion at a distal end of the second tubular portion, while having a free proximal end. The tubular portions form a circumferential pocket, wherein the first tubular portion extends from the proximal end of the header at least to said distal end of the second tubular portion. The radiopaque ring is arranged around the first tubular portion and is received in the circumferential pocket.
