Criteria for the Selection of Materials for Implanted Electrodes
Abstract
There are four criteria that must be considered when choosing material for an implanted electrode: (1) tissue response, (2) allergic response, (3) electrode-tissue impedance, and (4) radiographic visibility. This paper discusses these four criteria and identifies the materials that are the best candidates for such electrodes. For electrodes that make ohmic contact with tissues: gold, platinum, platinum-iridium, tungsten, and tantalum are good candidates. The preferred insulating materials are polyimide and glass. The characteristics of stimulator output circuits and the importance of the bidirectional waveform in relation to electrode decomposition are discussed. The paper concludes with an analysis, the design criteria, and the special properties and materials for capacitive recording and stimulating electrodes.

In the citing paper
“The electrical interface must be stable as a foreign body response over the contacts within excitable tissue will increase the separation between the electrode and the target tissue, leading to a raised stimulation threshold that is proportional to the scar tissue thickness and a drop in recording sensitivities (Geddes and Roeder 2003).”

“Encapsulation materials which are conventionally electrical insulators need to be both biocompatible and resistant to bio-dissolution (Geddes and Roeder 2003; Joung 2013).”

In the citing paper
“The longevity of the implant can be further improved through the operation of the electrodes, stimulating without a DC bias will reduce electro-decomposition of the electrical contacts, whilst bi-phasic pulses with a zero-net-charge have a similar response (Geddes and Roeder 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
