[0031] Specifically, the disc 1 is used as the main body of the electrode, and has the function of fixing the electrode sheet 2 and connecting the connecting wire 4 through the sleeve 3. The electrode sheet 2 is used for conduction and is connected to the middle part of the bottom side of the disc 1. It is the key part of the electrode. The sleeve 3 is used to be fixed on the top of the disc 1 and connected to the wire 4. The sleeve 3 is electrically connected to the wire 4 to play the role of conduction and transmission of electrical signals. The connecting wire 4 is used to transmit the electrical signal from the sleeve 3 to other devices or power supplies to achieve the connection between the electrode and the treatment device. The tightening belt 5 is used to fix the electrode in the treatment area. The material of the tightening belt 5 is rubber, which has stretchability so that it can adapt to the body shape of different patients.
