Abstract
We have developed a new type of glassy carbon electrode whose smooth surface with scattered craters reduces its polarization voltage. It has both exellent antithrombogenesity and slight tissue reaction. The energy threshold curve was the lowest when compared to the Siemens(411S, 412S) and the Solin (S-100) electrodes. We have prepared two kinds of surface areas, 6.5mm and 10mm2. The 10mm2 Dead Sea electrodes had a greater sensing capacity as compared to 6.5mm2 and the other electrodes. It was very interestieg to find out no significant differences in stimulation threshold between 6.5mm2 and 10mm2 Dead Sea electrodes.
