2. Skin electrode gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_electrode_gel

   A typical electrode gel consists of a mixture of water, a thickener such as polyvinyl alcohol or carboxymethyl cellulose, and an electrolyte to increase conductivity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some electrode gels have been shown to pose a potential fire risk when high-energy pulses are used, as for example when defibrillators are used.

3. Electrical muscle stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_muscle_stimulation

   The electrodes are generally pads that adhere to the skin. The impulses mimic the action potential that comes from the central nervous system , causing the muscles to contract. The use of EMS has been cited by sports scientists [ 2 ] as a complementary technique for sports training, and published research is available on the results obtained. [ 3 ]

4. Spinal cord stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator

   A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions.

5. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical...

   A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...

7. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

   Two types of electrodes in common use are a flat paper-thin sticker and a self-adhesive circular pad. The former are typically used in a single ECG recording while the latter are for continuous recordings as they stick longer. Each electrode consists of an electrically conductive electrolyte gel and a silver/silver chloride conductor. [37]

8. Pressure-sensitive adhesive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_adhesive

   Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA, self-adhesive, self-stick adhesive) is a type of nonreactive adhesive which forms a bond when pressure is applied to bond the adhesive with a surface. No solvent, water, or heat is needed to activate the adhesive.

9. Neurotrophic electrode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotrophic_electrode

   The neurotrophic electrode: teflon-coated gold wires extend from the back of the glass cone, while neurites (shown in blue) grow through it. The neurotrophic electrode is an intracortical device designed to read the electrical signals that the brain uses to process information. It consists of a small, hollow glass cone attached to several ...
