ABSTRACT:
A patient stimulating pacer electrode for use with heart pacers or other like devices. The electrode is constructed in a porous manner to have large surface area to reduce polarization losses while simultaneously having small overall dimensions for increasing stimulation current density and its ability to stimulate. Electrically conductive powdered metal is subjected to a sintering process to produce a porous conductive structure which is employed as the electrode. Conductive fluid from within the patient's body flows into the interstices of the overall small-dimensioned porous conductive structure; the resulting fluid-structure interface comprises a large surface area thereby reducing polarization losses.
