Medico-surgical device with conductive plastics electrode.

摘要

A catheter 1 has a tubular plastics body 2 and an insulated metal wire 10 extending along the bore 3 of the catheter through an aperture 13 close to its patient end. The exposed end of the wire is covered by and connects with an electrically-conductive plastics material injection moulded about the catheter to form an electrode 11 with a convex surface projecting from the surface of the catheter. The device may be used for ECG monitoring or electrical stimulation.
