Development of production technology of electrodes for electrical neurostimulation by using track membranes

The original technology of electrode production with track membrane materials for electrical neurostimulation has been described. It has been shown that the technology allows one to produce conducting structures with gas- and water-permeability in places of unfilled pores by metal. The created electrodes also have antiseptic properties.
