The present invention provides a bio-electrode composition including a silicone bonded to a sulfonimide salt, wherein the sulfonimide salt is shown by the following general formula (1): ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms optionally having an aromatic group, an ether group, or an ester group, or an arylene group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; Rf represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and containing at least one fluorine atom; M.sup.+ is an ion selected from a lithium ion, a sodium ion, a potassium ion, and a silver ion. This can form a living body contact layer for a bio-electrode that is excellent in electric conductivity and biocompatibility, light-weight, manufacturable at low cost, and free from large lowering of the electric conductivity even though it is wetted with water or dried.

The present invention relates to an electrode, which is an in vivo insertable electrode, including a substrate, an electrically conductive layer formed on the substrate, a platinum black layer formed on the electrically conductive layer, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formed on the platinum black layer, and a lubricant layer formed on the SAM, a method of manufacturing the electrode, and a medical device including the electrode. The in vivo insertable electrode according to the present invention provides excellent electrical properties such as low impedance. Further, it shows that friction with tissue occurring when the electrode is inserted is reduced, and trauma during insertion and an immune rejection response after insertion is suppressed. Further, in the long term, it is possible to detect signals with high sensitivity throughout the entire period by preventing bioadhesion of in vivo cells, such as immune cells, and other proteins.
