ABSTRACT:
A low-polarization electrode for use with an implantable lead. The low polarization electrode comprises a base substrate of a conductive material, an intermediate layer of a high dielectric layer over the base substrate, and a polarization-reducing coating over the intermediate layer. The low-polarization electrode essentially operates as a parallel-plate capacitor, thereby alleviating the polarization artifact at an electrode/tissue interface.
