Abstract

An electrode for connection of an electrical lead to a body surface of a medical patient has a flexible electrically conducting metal mesh inset into an electrically conducting plate connected to an electrical lead. The electrical insulator for the electrical lead is fused into the conducting plate and the jointing piece between the insulator and the conducting plate is in the form of a protective rubber sleeve. The plate may be made of an electrically conducting rubber or plastics. Applications are typically in high frequency surgery and in excitation current therapy. The electrode surface is quite smooth to facilitate washing.

Description

Elektrode zum Verbinden eines elektrischen Leiters mit einem Patienten Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Elektrode zum Verbinden eines elektrischen Leiters mit der Körperoberfläche eines Patienten. Electrode for connecting an electrical conductor to a patient The invention relates to an electrode for connecting an electrical conductor with the body surface of a patient.

Derartige Elektroden werden beispielsweise als inaktive Elektroden in der Hochfrequenzchirurgie verwendet, um den von der aktiven Elektrode über den Körper des Patienten fließenden Hochfrequenzstrom zum Chirurgiegerät zurückzuführen. Bekannt sind inaktive Elektroden aus einer Blecplatte. Diese Elektroden sind jedoch nicht in dem gewünschten Maß biegsam, so daß bei kleinen Biegeradien, z.B in der Säuglingschirurgie, ein großflächiger Kontakt mit dem Patienten nicht gewährleistet ist. Es sind ferner inaktive Elektroden aus miteinander verbundenen Metallschuppen bekannt. Diese Elektroden sind zwar flexibel, an der Oberfläche aber schlecht zu reinigen.Such electrodes are used, for example, as inactive electrodes Used in high frequency surgery to measure the from the active electrode over the The patient's body is fed back high-frequency current flowing to the surgical device. Inactive electrodes made from a sheet metal plate are known. However, these electrodes are not flexible to the desired extent, so that with small bending radii, e.g. in the Infant surgery, extensive contact with the patient is not guaranteed is. There are also inactive electrodes made of metal flakes connected to one another known. Although these electrodes are flexible, they do not close properly on the surface clean.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Elektrode der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die einerseits eine große Flexibilität besitzt, so daß auch bei kleinen Biegeradien ein großflächiger Kontakt mit der Körperoberfläche des Patienten gewährleistet ist, und bei der andererseits eine leichte Reinigung der Oberfläche möglich ist.The invention is based on the object of providing an electrode of the initially mentioned to create mentioned type, which on the one hand has great flexibility, so that Large-area contact with the body surface even with small bending radii of the patient is guaranteed, and on the other hand easy cleaning the surface is possible.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Elektrode von einer Platte aus flexiblem und elektrisch leitfähigem Material mit glatter Oberfläche gebildet ist. Die Platte kann beispielsweise aus elektrisch leitfähigem Gummi oder Kunststoff bestehen. Eine besonders zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, daf in der Platte ein biegsames Metallgeflecht eingeschmolzen ist, mit dem der elektrische Leiter verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise wird die Leitfähigkeit in der Plattenebene wesentlich erhöht und eine gleichmäßige Stromdichte über die ganze Plattenfläche gewährleistet.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the electrode from a plate made of flexible and electrically conductive material with a smooth surface is formed. The plate can, for example, made of electrically conductive rubber or Made of plastic. There is a particularly expedient development of the invention in that a flexible metal mesh is fused into the plate with which the electrical conductor is connected. This way the conductivity in the plate plane is significantly increased and a uniform current density over the whole Plate surface guaranteed.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der Zeichnung. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf eine Elektrode nach der Erfindung, und Fig. 2 eine Ansicht der Elektrode gemäß Fig. 1 von der Seite.Further advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment based on the drawing. Show it: 1 shows a plan view of an electrode according to the invention, and FIG. 2 shows a view the electrode according to FIG. 1 from the side.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Elektrode weist eine Platte 1 aus flexiblem und leitfähigem Material, z.B. Gummi auf.The electrode shown in the drawing has a plate 1 flexible and conductive material, e.g. rubber.

Ein biegsames Metallgeflecht 2 ist mittig in der Platte 1 einvulkanisiert. Das Metallgeflecht 2 erhöht die Leitfähigkeit in der Plattenebene wesentlich und gewährleistet eine gleichmäßige Stromdichte. Am Metallgeflecht 2 ist ein elektrischer Leiter 3 angeschlossen, dessen Isolierschicht 4 in der Platte 1 einvulkanisiert ist. Die Platte 1 ist dabei im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle der Isolierung 4 mit ihr als Enickschutz 5 ausgebildet.A flexible metal mesh 2 is vulcanized into the center of the plate 1. The metal mesh 2 increases the conductivity in the plate plane essential and ensures a uniform current density. On the metal braid 2 an electrical conductor 3 is connected, its insulating layer 4 in the plate 1 is vulcanized. The plate 1 is in the area of the junction Insulation 4 is designed with it as an anti-leak protection 5.

Die geschilderte Elektrode kann auch aus elektrisch leitfähigem und flexiblem Kunststoff bestehen. Sie kann, wie oben erwähnt, z.B. in der Hochfrequenz chirurgie als inaktive Elektrode aber auch für andere Anwendungsswecke, z.13. in der Reizstromtherapie, benutzt werden. Die Oberfläche der Elektrode ist völlig glatt, so'daß eine leichte Reinigung möglich ist.The described electrode can also be made of electrically conductive and are made of flexible plastic. It can, as mentioned above, e.g. in the high frequency surgery as an inactive electrode but also for other purposes, e.g. 13. in electrical stimulation therapy. The surface of the electrode is completely smooth, so that easy cleaning is possible.
