ABSTRACT:
A method for the automated manufacture of defibrillation lead electrodes is disclosed. A metallic defibrillation electrode coil is first embedded in silicone rubber. The location of the coil is mapped using a machine vision system and then a CO.sub.2 laser is used to ablate the silicone overlying the coil to expose a controlled portion of the coil while leaving the remainder securely embedded in the silicone. The power density of the laser is below that which would affect the surface or bulk properties of the coil.
