An electrode having an adhesion-enhancing surface structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I/We claim: 1 . An implantable electrode, wherein the electrode comprises an electrode head having an adhesion-enhancing surface structure. 2 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode head widens in a plate-like manner starting from a distal end of an electrode lead, and the region of the electrode head widened in a plate-like manner can be reversibly folded in the direction of the electrode lead. 3 . The electrode according to claim 2 , wherein spacers are arranged on the end face of the electrode head, which protrude beyond the adhesion-enhancing surface structure. 4 . The electrode according to claim 3 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is designed such that a force acting radially outwardly from the center point of the electrode head counteracts an adhesion of the surface structure to an adjacent surface. 5 . The electrode according to claim 2 , wherein the electrode head has a fixing screw centrally and the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is designed such that a force acting with the thread direction of the fixing screw counteracts an adhesion of the surface structure to an adjacent surface. 6 . The electrode according to one claim 1 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is formed from a polymer material. 7 . The electrode according to claim 6 , wherein the polymer material is a silicone. 8 . The electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is a gecko structure. 9 . An implantable electrode having an elongate electrode lead and an electrode head arranged distally thereon, wherein the electrode lead has an adhesion-enhancing surface structure. 10 . The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is arranged in the region of a pre-shaping of the electrode lead used for support against a vessel wall. 11 . The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is formed from a polymer material. 12 . The electrode according to claim 11 , wherein the polymer material is a silicone. 13 . The electrode according to claim 9 , wherein the adhesion-enhancing surface structure is a gecko structure.
