Problems solved by technology

[0006] The above-mentioned aspects create constraints regarding the position of the neutral electrode on the patient, so that sometimes there is an undesirably large distance between the neutral electrode and the surgical field
In addition, the location of the cable connected to the neutral electrode may prevent

Embodiment Construction

[0032] figure 1A neutral electrode 12 is shown attached to a patient 11, which is connected via a neutral electrode connection cable 13 to a device 14, wherein the device 14 is used eg for electrosurgery. The attachment of the neutral electrode 12 to the patient 11 may be performed, for example, during the preparation of the patient 11 for surgery while the patient 11 is sitting or lying on the base 15 . The location of the neutral electrode 12 may be based on medical or surgical technical considerations. Display does not require special consideration of body bends, folds, etc.

[0033] figure 2 A neutral electrode 12 on a curved skin portion of a patient 11 is shown. The neutral electrode 12 consists of an electrode body 16 and an inlay 17 embedded therein. The inlay 17 is electrically connected to the neutral electrode connection cable 13 at the cable connector 18, which is at image 3 is also obvious. The cable connector 18 may be formed by a rigid conductive connect...

Abstract

The invention relates to a neutral electrode and a method for producing the same. The neutral electrode (12) is formed on the patient (11) in that an electrically conductible mass that can solidify is applied on the skin of the patient (11). An electrically conductible inlay (17) can be arranged on or embedded in the forming electrode body (16) prior, during or after the application of the mass, the inlay (17) is or can be connected with the neutral electrode connection cable (13). The inlay (17) serves to electrically contact the electrode body (16) in a large area that in turn establishes a reliable electrical contact to the patient (11).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a neutral electrode attached to a patient for conducting electrosurgical current, a method of forming such an electrode and products used during the formation of such a neutral electrode. Background technique [0002] A neutral electrode for radiofrequency surgery is known from WO 2004 / 069070 A1, which is configured as a fully or partially conductive sock. [0003] Furthermore, a reusable neutral electrode comprising a two-dimensional support of elastic silicone rubber is known from utility model DE 9101366 U1. It supports two electrode areas, which are electrically conductive and electrically separated from each other, and which are connected to the cable via connecting wires. The electrode area is connected via this cable to the neutral connection of the electrosurgical device. The monitoring system thus checks for correct abutment of the electrode area on the patient's body. [0004] A similar neutral electrode is...
