ABSTRACT:
An implantable bone growth stimulator comprising an electrical signal generator having an anode connected thereto along with a prefabricated flexible wire mesh cathode that is extendable to at least twice its preformed initial length. The cathode in a preferred embodiment includes a single chain of conductive wire links formed as alternating loops and twists of two strands of monofilament titanium wire.
