Abstract
An implantable cardiac defibrillation electrode is provided, in which there is an electrically conductive wire mesh formed of crossed spirally wound cables. Each of the spirally wound cables comprises a plurality of stranded wire elements, with a central wire element and a plurality of outer wire elements wound adjacent the central wire element. In one embodiment, the crossed cables are formed in a twill weave pattern, alternating over and under at least two individual cables.
Claims4
An implantable cardiac defibrillation electrode which comprises:
- an electrically conductive wire mesh formed of crossed spirally wound cables, each of said cables comprising a plurality of stranded wire elements;
- said crossed cables being formed in a rectilinear twill weave pattern, with each cable going over at least two consecutive cables and then under at least two consecutive cables in an alternate manner.
An implantable cardiac defibrillation electrode which comprises:
- an electrically conductive wire mesh comprising a plurality of spirally wound electrical conductors, said mesh being formed in a rectangular twill weave pattern, with each electrical conductor going over at least two consecutive electrical conductors and then under at least two consecutive electrical conductors in an alternate manner.
