ELECTRODE SENSOR KIT, ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, AND TOPICAL PREPARATION FOR ESTABLISHING ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH SKIN, USE THEREOF, AND METHOD OF ELECTRO-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY (EIT) IMAGING USING THESE

摘要

An electrode sensor kit for establishing electrical contact with skin comprises at least one contact element and a preparation comprising a mixture of water and at least one lipid for enhancing electrical contact properties between said contact element and the skin, wherein said mixture forms an emulsion, in particular a water-in-oil or an oil-in-water emulsion, having a conductivity of less than 3 mS/cm. An electrode assembly for electrical impedance tomography which comprises said kit is characterized in that (a) said at least one contact element forms an electrode or sensor plate, and (b) said at least one contact element comprises a layer of said preparation.
