MEDICAL ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR IMPLANTATION INTO A PATIENT

A medical electrode device for implantation comprises a carrier formed from an electrically insulating material and defining a surface extending along a plane of extension, and at least one electrode arranged on the carrier for emitting an electrical stimulation signal and/or receiving an electrical sense signal. The at least one electrode comprises first and section wall sections. Said first wall section, in a cross-section along a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to said plane of extension, extends straight along a perpendicular direction with respect to said plane of extension or at an oblique angle with respect to said perpendicular direction, the first wall section in contact with the carrier electrically insulating material. Said second wall section, in said cross-section along said cross-sectional plane perpendicular to said plane of extension, adjoins said first wall section and is curved, the second wall section not in contact with the carrier electrically insulating material.
