Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical stimulation, in particular to a deep neuromuscular electrical stimulation electrode. Background Art

[0002] Conventional contact electrodes currently available on the market are only sheet-shaped and conduct electricity only to superficial neuromuscular tissue. However, when stimulating only deep tissue, the current from conventional contact electrodes will first pass through the superficial tissue, causing inappropriate contractions in the superficial muscles and causing interference. To stimulate the target deep neuromuscular tissue, the electrodes should be placed at the projection of the deep muscle, within the muscle gaps in the superficial tissue, allowing the current to be conducted directly downward.

[0003] In summary, for this purpose, we provide a deep neuromuscular electrical stimulation electrode. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a deep neuromuscular electrical stimulation electrode, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A deep neuromuscular electrical stimulation electrode comprises an insulating tape, a button-type electrode adhered to one side of the insulating tape, and an insulating tape and a contact electrode on the other side. The insulating tape is wrapped around the outside of the contact electrode, the button-type electrode is electrically connected to a wire, and the button-type electrode is electrically connected to the contact electrode.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the insulating tape is 30-40 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the contact electrode is 8-10 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the insulating tape is 2-3 mm, and the height of the insulating tape is slightly greater than the thickness of the contact electrode.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The contact electrode of the present invention is in the shape of a truncated cone, and its side surface is insulated. When used, it is attached to the gap of the superficial muscle and does not conduct electricity to the surrounding area, thus reducing the possibility of interference.

[0012] 2. The insulating adhesive tape of the contact electrode of the present invention is non-conductive and its function is to make the contact electrode fit tightly downwards. The contact electrode transmits the current downwards to the deep tissue through the muscle gap, further improving the deep stimulation effect and reducing the electrical diffusion of the superficial tissue.
