Abstract

See full text

An implantable cardioversion or defibrillation lead provided with a large surface, carbon fiber electrode. The lead takes the form of an elongated tubular braid of carbon fiber, provided with a central core of insulating plastic. Over the majority of the braid's length, it is covered by an outer sheath of insulating plastic as well, serving as a lead conductor. At its distal end, the braid is not covered, and the exposed portion of the braid serves as the electrode.
