Abstract
A mono-layer electrode sensor suitable for a multitude of electrophysiology testing applications is disclosed. The electrode sensor can include a mono-layer of conductive film shaped with a soft-form geometry that is modifiable to a targeted size tailored to a patient. The conductive film includes a sensing area that is complementary to a size and morphology of a body structure of the patient. The conductive film can have a connector coupled to the sensor, and the skin adherent side can have a bio-compatible hydrogel coated there over including a non-conductive material formed over the connector portion of the conductive film.
Claims20
An electrode sensor, comprising:
- a mono-layer of conductive film that is continuously conductive from a first end to an opposing second end, the conductive film having a first side adapted for placement facing an anatomical site of a patient and a second side, opposing the first side, the conductive film shaped with a soft-form geometry that is modifiable to a targeted size that is tailored to the patient, wherein the conductive film provides a sensing area that is complementary to a size and morphology of a body structure of the patient that is proximate the anatomical site, the sensing area adapted to collect electrical signal representations of electrophysiological electrical energy generated from the body structure and generate signal representations thereof;
- and
- a connector coupled to the conductive film for connection to the electrophysiological device.
An electrode sensor, comprising:
- a mono-layer of conductive film that is continuously conductive from a first end to an opposing second end, the conductive film having a first side adapted for placement facing an anatomical site of a patient and a second side, opposing the first side, the conductive film shaped with a curvilinear geometry that is modifiable to a targeted size that is tailored to the patient, wherein the conductive film provides a large sensing area that is complementary to a size and morphology of a body structure of the patient that is proximate the anatomical site, the large sensing area adapted to collect electrical signal representations of electrophysiological electrical energy generated from the body structure and generate signal representations thereof;
- a connector coupled to the conductive film proximate the first end, wherein the connector includes a base portion formed on the first side and the second side of the conductive film and a projection element supported by the base portion that extends outward through the second side of the conductive film;
- a non-conductive material formed on only a portion of the first side of the conductive film, wherein the non-conductive material extends along the first side of the conductive film beyond a perimeter of the connector, with one end of the non-conductive material being in vertical alignment with the first end of the conductive film and another opposing end of the non-conductive material extending along the first side of the conductive film;
- and
- a hydrogel coated over the first side of the conductive film and the non-conductive material.
An electrode sensor for detecting electrophysiological electrical energy generated from an anatomical site of a patient, comprising:
- a mono-layer of conductive film having a first side adapted for placement facing the anatomical site of the patient and a second side, opposing the first side, the conductive film shaped with a rectangular geometry that is modifiable to a targeted shape that is tailored to the patient, the targeted shape including at least one edge of the rectangular geometry having one of a single edge curve or a concave curved edge, wherein the conductive film includes a sensing area that substantially matches morphometrically with a body structure of the patient that is proximate the anatomical site, the sensing area adapted to collect electrical signal representations of electrophysiological electrical energy generated from the body structure and generate signal representations thereof;
- a connector coupled to the conductive film, wherein the connector includes a base portion formed on the first side and the second side of the conductive film and a projection element supported by the base portion that extends outward through the second side of the conductive film;
- a non-conductive material formed on only a portion of the first side of the conductive film corresponding to the connector;
- and
- a hydrogel coated over the first side of the conductive film and the non-conductive material.
