An electrode device for aEEG is disclosed. The electrode device includes a housing mounted on an adhesive element to adhere the electrode device to a skin surface of a patient; an electrode plate placed in the housing; and a wire connection for the electrode plate. The housing has a first protruding part that includes a conical-shaped hole for injecting and removing an electroconductive gel and that is disposed in the housing inclined outwardly at an angle between 50 degree and 80 degree with respect to the longitudinal direction of the skin surface. The housing also has a second protruding part that includes a hole for the introduction of the wire connection in order to be attached to the electrode plate. The second protruding part is disposed on the axis of the housing

An active implantable medical device (AIMD) has an alumina housing supporting at least two electrodes. A printed circuit board (PCB) assembly resides inside the housing. Two sintered platinum-containing pathways extend through the housing thickness from the electrodes supported on the housing body fluid side surface to a housing device side surface. A device side end of each of the two platinum-containing pathways is in electrical continuity with an electrical contact supported on the PCB to energize the electrodes for providing stimulation therapy to a patient or for sensing biological signals from the patient.

A heart activity measurement device for an individual including: a processing unit; at least one measurement cable, including a first end suited for connection to the processing unit in order to form an input for an electrical potential, and a second end; a support, ready for an individual to wear, where the support supports the cable so as to keep a predefined path for the cable relative to the skin of the individual when the support is worn. The cable is laid out such that when the support is worn, any contact between an electrically conducting part of the cable and the skin of the individual is prevented. The second end of the cable does not have any electrode for contact with the skin. The support is further laid out for keeping a predefined spacing between a measurement portion of the cable and the skin of the individual.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode warming system with a warmer and at least one ECG electrode. The warmer has an exothermic warming composition. The at least one ECG electrode is configured to attach to a patient's body to detect electrical signals and is thermally connected to the warmer. An insert may be positioned between the at least one ECG electrode and the warmer. The at least one ECG electrode may be removably connected to the insert and the warmer may be bonded to the insert with an adhesive. A barrier may be configured to separate the exothermic warming composition from a reactant composition. The barrier is breakable by a user to allow the reactant composition to contact the exothermic warming composition. Contact between the reactant composition and the exothermic warming composition causes the exothermic warming composition to release heat.

A semi-dry electrode combines advantages of wet electrodes and dry electrodes by use of a rotatable ball to apply a conductive gel at the tip of the electrode in a manner similar to how a ballpen applies ink. A reservoir in the semi-dry electrode contains the conductive gel that is applied by the ball to the skin of the user. This creates a thin film of conductive gel at the tip of the semi-dry electrode which reduces impedance and increases the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. Directly applying the conductive gel from within the electrode itself reduces mess and improves user convenience. The semi-dry electrode may be used in a lightweight electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring device to detect brain activity. The brain activity may be used as input for a brain-computer interface (BCI).
