Abstract
A film coating for use in combination with an in-vivo signal generating reference electrode coupled to a condition responsive means and adapted to sense a condition of a body fluid within the host, wherein the film coating comprises a silicone based polymer having adhesive and cohesive properties performing an adherent and coherent film coating upon the signal generating reference electrode, and wherein the film contains potassium chloride therewithin in a concentration range between 20 and 40 milligrams per gram of polymer solids. The cross sectional thickness of the cured film is sufficiently large so as to stabilize and improve the mechanical properties of the electrode components, but sufficiently limited so as to reduce any adverse effect upon cell response.
