Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides an electrode suitable for biological implantation comprising support means and at least one electrode mounted on the support means which support means includes one or more discontinuities in the structure, shape or material of the support means positioned near one end of the support means to facilitate deflection of that end of said support means on encounting an obstacle during the implantation procedure. The invention provides an electrode array for prosthetic implantation, comprising a biologically inert support member having an inner end and an outer end, a plurality of electrodes supported by said support member at predetermined space distances along a portion of the length of said support member.
