ELECTRODE DEVICE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering; electrophysiological measurements. SUBSTANCE: device has dielectric housing and operating electrode with current lead secured on it. Operating electrode is made of material with thermal conductivity coefficient comparable with thermal conductivity of biological object tissue and electrical conductance of at least 0,1×10⁶ohm^-1m^-1.. This design of electrode allows removal of preparatory phase in performance of electrophysiological measurements due to reduction of temperature, mechanical and chemical irritation of skin section positioned directly under electrode. It also enables recording of biopotentials without using of intermediate contact substance. EFFECT: improved measurement results. 1 dwg
