Plasma probe and method for assembly of its electrode

A method for assembly of an electrode (20) of a plasma probe (11) comprising the following steps:

• arranging an electrical conductor (21) inside of a hose (15) that comprises a proximal end (16) and a distal end (17) between which a lumen (27) is formed, wherein the electrical conductor (21) extends from the proximal end (16) of the hose (15) up to its distal end (17) and comprises a plastic sheathing (22);
• pushing a hollow end (32) of an electrode (20) on an end (23) of the electrical conductor (21);
• and
• inserting the hollow end (32) of the electrode (20) into the plastic sheathing (22) of the electrical conductor (21).

A plasma probe (11) comprising:

• a hose (15) that comprises a proximal end (16) and a distal end (17) between which at least one lumen (27) is formed;
• an electrical conductor (21) arranged inside the hose (15) and extending from the proximal end (16) of the hose (15) up to its distal end (17) and that comprises a plastic sheathing (22);
• and
• an electrode (20) comprising a proximal end (32) electrically connected to the electrical conductor (21) and a distal end (33) extending in a distal direction;
• wherein the electrode (20) is held by at least one of the electrical conductor (21) and the plastic sheathing (22) of the electrical conductor (21);
• wherein the proximal end (32) of the electrode (20) extends between the plastic sheathing (22) and the electrical conductor (21) and is axially fixed by the plastic sheathing (22).
