ELECTRODE FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS, SYSTEM HAVING SUCH AN ELECTRODE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH AN ELECTRODE

摘要

The invention relates to an electrode for intravascular medical applications for neuromodulation and/or nerve stimulation and/or neurological signal detection, wherein said electrode can be compressed and expanded in order to insert same into a hollow organ (A) of a body and is or can be coupled to a current supply. The invention is characterized by a compressible and expandable lattice structure (10), which has cells (22) formed from lattice webs (11) and is or can be coupled to the current supply, the lattice structure (10) being obtained at least partially by means of physical vapor deposition.
