Abstract

Approximately 50–75 μW (microwatts) of electrical power can be obtained from an implantable platinum-black aluminum electrochemical cell. The implantations have been conducted in twelve rabbits for periods up to 200 days. The intensity of the initial tissue reaction and accumulation of insoluble aluminum oxidation products appear to be the factors limiting useful power available.
