LINEAR DEVICE

摘要

A linear device capable of being reduced in size, being inserted into a desired position of an object, and preventing the object from being damaged. The device is a linear member extending along an axial direction and formed of a plurality of layers arranged from a base layer toward an outer layer, the plurality of layers comprising a plurality of conductive layers (3) formed of a conductive material, and insulation layers (4) provided between the conductive layers (3). When the other end of the linear member is inserted or buried into an object at the other end thereof, an electric stimulus can be given to that location or the resistance or the like of a substance near one end can be measured. Being linear or slender, the linear member takes up a smaller space when inserted into an object, whereby examinees are prevented from feeling a sense of incongruity or a pain when the member is used as a sensor or the like to be inserted/buried into examinees.
