7.2 Indifferent Electrode (Anode)
The indifferent electrode provides a common return current path for all of the
electrodes implanted in the diaphragm. It is implanted in the subcutaneous tissue
of the lateral chest region and is tunneled to the percutaneous exit site. The lead
is fabricated of the same double helix wound 316LVM stainless steel as the
intramuscular electrode and percutaneous extension lead. It is also terminated in
a 316L stainless steel pin at one end and 7cm de-insulated for the return electrode
tip. The overall length is 19cm with a 0.75mm diameter. The indifferent electrode
is packaged in Tyvek packaging and sterilized by ethylene oxide exposure.
