Expanded ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in an electrical medical device

摘要

An electro-medical system includes a porous covering that has a pore structure to resist in vivo fibrotic tissue ingrowth. The system includes an electrode where the porous covering includes a porous communication through the covering to the electrode. The system includes a can that is covered with the porous covering. The system also includes a can with a dielectric coating over the can, and the porous covering allows for a hot can. The system also includes a lead with a dielectric coating over the lead.
