Abstract

Five-tenths (0.5) mm diameter (20 mil) 80% platinum - 205 iridium wire was used to make chronically implanted transcutaneous electrodes for use in 14 subjects over a 19 week period. The techniques of implantation and management are described. The advantages and disadvantages of the implanted electrodes are discussed. Suggestions are made to improve future applications.
