Patent ID: 8346371

Claim:
An electrode unit for carrying current or voltage between an implantable electromedical device and a treatment and/or diagnosis site in the human body, comprising: at least one current-/voltage-carrying feed line; at least one electrical contact pole coupled to a body part wherein said at least one electrical contact pole is coupled with said at least one current-/voltage-carrying feed line; wherein the at least one current-/voltage-carrying feed line is associated with at least one frequency-dependent transmission system, wherein said at least one frequency-dependent transmission system at least partially filters out therapeutically and/or diagnostically undesirable signals in at least one defined frequency range; wherein the at least one frequency-dependent transmission system is formed directly by one or more sections of the at least one current-/voltage-carrying feed line; wherein the frequency-dependent transmission system is formed by a higher-conductive section of a helix of the at least one current-/voltage-carrying feed line.
