Thanks Joan, for bringing some sense into this discussion. If you think about it, just about any metal that is used in kitchenware and in bathrooms and of course hospitals (particularly in prostheses), can be used in electrodes. Also, there is a difference in that indwelling electrodes should be chosen more carefully than external ones. My favorite external electrode idea mentioned by one member is the large sheet of aluminum foil which is put into use by sitting on it.
Regards, Dickiedean.

response to the part about titanium implnts goes unfortunatly in many
areas of the body plates from titanium just are not up to the job
where thickness and rigidity of the material goes. In medical type
apllications you want a extermely rigid material where you have to
plate load bearing bones together to promote fuzing of the bone to
itself and facilitate future removal of the hardware (I.E. Femurs and
the like) the material of choice here is stainless ( I should know
having them in my left leg) Bone cells have an affinity to fuze to
and overgrow titanium this is ideal for a structure such as a hip
socket replacement where you want the socke t to fuze to the bone.
My two cents I am a former Aerospace Advanced Materials Engineer (
don't ask for details ).
