<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an implantable electrode for medical devices being electrically active and having biocompatibility.SOLUTION: The implantable medical electrode has a surface geometry which optimizes the electrical performance of the electrode, while mitigating the undesirable effects associated with prior art porous surfaces. The electrode has an optimized surface topography for improved electrical performance. Such an electrode is suitable for devices which may be permanently implanted in the human body as stimulation electrodes, such as pacemakers, or as sensors of medical conditions. The electrode having the increased surface area is achieved by the application of ultrafast high energy pulses to the surface of a solid, monolithic electrode material.</p> |
