Abstract
A fluid-phase electrode lead apparatus is disclosed, for the delivery of electrical signals to an excitable tissue. The electrode lead comprises a catheter, having distal and proximal ends, at least one electrode provided at the distal end of said catheter, electrically connectable to an electric signal generator, and electrolytic fluid is provided through the catheter at the distal end to facilitate electric conduction of an electric signal from the at least one electrode to the excitable tissue.
