摘要：
Electrodes comprising an electrode coated with a coating, the coating comprising a non-fibrotic material, wherein the non-fibrotic material comprises electrically conductive particles dispersed therein, are provided. The non-fibrotic material may comprise hydrogel lacking cell adhesion moieties. The hydrogel may comprise poly(ethylene) glycol. The electrically conductive particles may comprise gold. Such electrodes may provide electrical stimulation to tissues, while eliminating or reducing fibrosis of tissue coming into contact with the electrodes. Such electrodes may accomplish these ends without the use of drugs. Such electrodes may be useful in applications in which electrical stimulation of tissues is used, such as in cardiac pacemakers, neural stimulators, and muscle stimulators. Methods of making and of evaluating such electrodes are provided.
