DEFIBRILLATION ELECTRODES Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61N1/04 A61N1/39 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical devices. Reusable component of a hands-free defibrillation electrode comprises a flexible nonconductive element and a flexible reusable metallic element supported by nonconductive element and configured to propagate current of electric defibrillation pulse through an exposure area of 15 square centimetres sufficient for defibrillation. Metal element comprises rigid metal elements interconnected by flexible metal binding elements. Flexible nonconductive material of nonconductive element encapsulates metal element except unsealed sections, which serve as surfaces for current supply into nonconductive material. Through unsealed sections rigid metal elements are open on side of reusable component, which faces patient and may be repeatedly stuck to disposable connecting part. Reusable component has dimensions and is configured to receive electric defibrillation pulse and propagate said and to each of surfaces for current supply, when it is supplied to exposure area in the patient's chest through disposable connecting part. Reusable component is configured for reuse every time with a new disposable connecting part, applied on side of reusable component facing patient.

EFFECT: use of invention provides a flexible electrode which repeats shape of patient's body, but is quite rough, owing to which can be reused.
