Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments concern an electrode of an implantable medical device for delivering electrical stimulation to tissue. Such an electrode can include a main body formed from a substrate metal comprising one of titanium, stainless steel, a cobalt-chromium alloy, or palladium. The main body may not be radiopaque. The electrode may further include a first coating on at least one side of the main body, the first coating comprising a layer of one of tantalum or iridium metal that is at least about 2 micrometers thick. The first coating can be radiopaque and porous. The porosity of the first coating can increase the electrical performance of the electrode in delivering electrical stimulation to tissue.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
