Abstract
An implantable electrode system includes a connector for connecting a proximal end of the electrode to an implantable medical apparatus, such as for stimulating living tissue, and a distal end at which a tip electrode is located. The proximal end and the distal end are connected by a conductor which electrically connects the medical apparatus to the electrode tip, and which is surrounded by a flexible insulating sleeve. In order to provide an indifferent electrode having a large surface area relative to the size of the tip electrode, the insulating sleeve is provided with a section formed by an electrically conductive, flexible material, which serves as the indifferent electrode. The flexibility of the electrode system is retained, while providing an indifferent electrode of optional size.
