Abstract
An electrode assembly for a medical device system includes an electrode, a shunted lead circuit, and a self-healing material integrated into the shunted lead circuit. The shunted lead circuit is designed to shunt currents induced by relatively high frequency radiation, such as MRI radiation. The self-healing material has a conductive layer and a dielectric layer, where the dielectric layer includes at least one of an oxide, an organic coating, and a composite.
