Benefits of technology

This design reduces the risk of burns and tissue damage, allows for smaller electrode sizes, and improves ease of use on diverse patient populations, including children, the elderly, and those with skin issues, while maintaining safety and reducing discomfort.

Problems solved by technology

Non-favorable voltage distribution in a multi component dispersive electrode can substantially worsen, instead of improve, the current density distribution compared to a commonly used dispersive electrode.

Abstract

Herein is disclosed a biomedical dispersive electrode which can redistribute the current in the subject body, increase subject safety, reduce the chance for burns and other tissue damage as well as discomfort experienced by subject during or after usage. Electrodes based on the principles of this invention can be made smaller than electrodes based on the principles of the prior art.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 11 / 203,977 filed Aug. 16, 2005, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,771,419 issued Aug. 10, 2010, which, in turn, claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. Nos. 60 / 615,684 and 60 / 615,759, both filed on Oct. 5, 2004, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to biomedical electrodes attached to the body of a human being or an animal. These electrodes, often referred to as dispersive electrodes, return electrodes, grounding pads, patient plates or Bovie pads, are used to deliver or receive current from the body during various electrosurgical procedures such as, but not limited to, general surgery, arthroscopy, laproscopy, gastroentrology, gynecology, urology, ENT, cardiology, spinal and cosmetic surgery.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Biomedical electrodes are used in a variety of medical and veterinary applic...
