    摘要: A wound dressing is disclosed. A wound dressing comprises a first adhesive layer, an electrode assembly, a monitor interface and a multiplexer. The first adhesive layer comprises a proximal surface configured for attachment of the wound dressing to a skin surface of a user. The electrode assembly comprises a plurality of electrodes including a first set of first electrodes. The monitor interface is configured to form a mechanical and electrical connection with a monitor device. The monitor interface comprises a coupling part and a plurality of terminals including a first terminal. The multiplexer comprises a number of N input pins and a number of M output pins. The N input pins include a first set of first input pins for connection to first electrodes of the first set of first electrodes, the first set of first pins including a first primary input pin and a first secondary input pin, and the M output pins include a first output pin. The first primary input pin is connected to a first primary electrode of the first set of first electrodes and the first secondary input pin is connected to a first secondary electrode of the first set of first electrodes, and the first output pin is connected to the first terminal of the monitor interface. The multiplexer is configured to connect the first primary input pin to the first output pin in a first multiplexer configuration and to connect the first secondary input pin to the first output pin in a second multiplexer configuration.

    摘要: A bioelectrode is provided that can make it easy to maintain an electrode shape and suppress a burden on a subject of measurement. A bioelectrode includes a support member, an electrode member, and a connector. The electrode member has a supported section. The supported section has a supported surface and an electrode formation surface that face in opposite directions from each other. A plurality of electrode protrusions are provided on the electrode formation surface. The electrode member is formed of conductive rubber. The electrode protrusions each have a base end and a tip. The conductive rubber of the base end is harder than the conductive rubber of the tip.

    摘要: An electrode apparatus is applicable on a skin with hair of a mammal for measuring an electrical bio-signal. The electrode apparatus comprises cylindrical chambers, each of which comprises a wall, which forms a cavity within the cylindrical chambers, a roof at a first end of each of said cylindrical chambers, a second end of said cylindrical chambers opposite to the first end being open, and at least one electrode. An elongated structure is located within each of the cylindrical chambers, and comprises a first portion parallel to a central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. A first end of the elongated structure, the first end of the elongated structure belonging to the first portion, is attached to the roof. At least one second portion, each comprising a second end opposite to the first end, deviates from a direction of the central axis of a cylindrical chamber within which it is. The elongated structure rotatable in order to bundle hair when applied to the mammal so as to improve a contact of the electrode with the skin of the mammal.

    摘要: An electrode assembly (preferably in the form of a nerve cuff) comprises a base with first and second arms extending from opposite sides of the base, and which, in combination, define an arc. First and second electrically conductive electrodes extend along the inner surface of the first and second arms. Each electrode can comprise a single length of foil can or can comprise multiple discrete foil segments. The foils are electrically isolated from each other. Electrical wires, which are in electrical communication with the each of the foils, extend from the nerve cuff and are adapted to be electrically connected to a signal monitor. When the nerve cuff is applied to a nerve, the foils, in combination, substantially surround the nerve, with the first and second electrodes being on opposite sides of the nerve from each other. Also disclosed is a method of using the nerve cuff to monitor a nerve during a lumbar spinal surgery while the patient is anesthetized and paralyzed.

    摘要: The digital suture devices can accurately record electrical activity in muscles, while reducing both tissue damage and increasing ease of use. In some examples, the digital suture device can include an adapter configured to be connected to a data collection and/or stimulus control system. The device can further include a sensor body electrically and mechanically connected to the adapter. The sensor body may include one or more sensor members extending from the adapter. Each sensor member may include a first section distal to the adapter, a second section including one or more arrays of one or more stimulating/sensing sites, and a third section configured to be used with a delivery device. The second section may be disposed between the first section and the third section. Each sensor member may include one or more sets of tissue engaging members disposed along a length of the second section.
