Abstract
A removable lead for applying electrical signals to excitable tissue in a body of a subject, including at least one conductive wire and at least one electrode fixed to the wire. The electrode includes a conducting substrate having a given capacitance and a given resistance and a coating applied over the conducting substrate, such that the capacitance of the electrode with the coating is at least twice the capacitance of the substrate, and the resistance of the electrode with the coating is generally equal to the resistance of the substrate.
