NEUROMODULATION ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61N1/04 A61N1/36 

FIELD: medical technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical technology, namely to a neuromodulation electrode assembly. The electrode contains a housing, a means of electrical connection, an electrically conductive electrode part. The housing has a removable protrusion on one side, extending to the end having an opening, and contains a base from which the specified removable protrusion continues. The protrusion is attached with the possibility of detaching to the base. The means of electrical connection is made with the possibility of connection to an external device. The electrically conductive electrode part is connected to the means of electrical connection at one end and has the opposite end, made with the possibility of interacting with the patient’s skin by means of a section of the electrode part protruding outward through the opening. The electrode part contains an electrically conductive solid-state element, an electrically conductive soft deformable element. The electrically conductive solid-state element is connected on one side to the means of electrical connection and is rigidly connected to the base. The electrically conductive soft deformable element is held between the removable protrusion and the base and protrudes outward through the opening. The soft deformable element is made with the possibility of forming a means of communication of the solid-state element with the patient’s skin. The conductive soft deformable element is at least partially hollow. The electrically conductive solid-state element is located inside the electrically conductive soft deformable element. The diameter of the opening of the removable protrusion is selectable and determines how far the electrically conductive soft deformable element protrudes outward through the hole.

EFFECT: assembled neuromodulation electrode is provided, which improves the transmission of the neuromodulation signal from the signal generator to the target nerve by ensuring contact of the electrode with the skin on the required surface area.
