Conductive and Biocompatible Electrodes that Prevent Fibrotic Capsule Formation
Implanted electrode leads deliver a current from a powered device to tissue that requires electrical stimulation. A host of complications can arise from surgical implantation of electrode leads; however, foreign body responses and the rapid formation of a fibrotic capsule around the lead are the most frequent. Even with surface coating modifications...
