An electrode probe for medical applications includes a tubular, flexible probe body, an electrode mounted at the distal end of the probe body, and an electrical supply line within the probe body and extending to the electrode. At least a portion of the distal end section of the probe body can be transformed into a radially broadened collar, preferably owing to relative motion between the electrical supply line and the probe body. Where a screw-in electrode is used, the distal end section may be deformed into a radially broadened collar when the electrode is screwed into the body tissue, owing to forces exerted by the body tissue onto the distal end section, and/or owing to forces exerted by the screw-in electrode on the distal end section via a thrust bearing.
