PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a deglutition inducing implement and a deglutition inducing system being easily insertable via the nasal cavity of a person to the oropharynx or the hypopharynx without using large-scale equipment such as an endoscope and a denture base and bringing a tip electrode into contact with the pharyngeal mucosa by a simple operation.SOLUTION: The deglutition inducing implement includes a conductive wire 13, a tip electrode 14 connected to a distal end of the conductive wire, and an electric insulating tube 16 covering the conductive wire. The deglutition inducing implement is substantially straight in an uncontrolled state and is elastically bently deformed, when being inserted via the nasal cavity of a person to the oropharynx or the hypopharynx. |
