  • The Lithium/Iodine-Polyvinylpyridine Battery – 35 years of Successful Clinical Use
    2016
    Co-Authors: Curtis F. Holmes
    Abstract:

    The lithium/iodine-Polyvinylpyridine (PVP) battery has been in clinical use as a power source for pacemakers for 35 years. Since 1972, literally millions of lithium/iodine cells have seen clinical use, providing health-giving and life-saving therapy to patients throughout the world. Indeed, the battery has compiled an excellent record of reliability and safety. The cell reaction is the simple combination of lithium and iodine to form lithium iodide, but the chemistry of the cathode material is interesting and complicated

  • The Lithium/Iodine Battery: A Historical Perspective
    Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1992
    Co-Authors: Wilson Greatbatch, Curtis F. Holmes
    Abstract:

    The lithium/iodine-Polyvinylpyridine battery, first implanted 20 years ago, has become the power source of choice for the cardiac pacemaker. Over the last 20 years, improvements in cell chemistry, cell design, and modeling of cell performance have been made. Cells today exhibit an energy density over three times as great as cells produced in 1972. Well over 2 million pacemakers have been implanted with this chemistry, and the system has exhibited excellent reliability.
