Vaginal electrode for urinary incontinence treatment

A manufacturing method of an electrode for insertion into a body cavity during medical treatment, comprising the steps of:

• forming a plurality of ring-shaped metal bands;
• forming a plurality of ring-shaped conductive bands at the inner and/or outer circumferences of said plurality of ring-shaped metal bands by a molding process using conductive material;
• soldering a plurality of electrical lines to the plurality of ring-shaped metal bands, respectively;
• disposing the plurality of conductive bands including the ring-shaped metal bands coupled to the electrical lines in the longitudinal direction on a rod-shape matrix and arranging the electrical lines such that one ends of the electrical lines are extended through one end of said rod-shaped matrix to outside of the matrix;
• and
• molding the non-conductive material in between and inside of said ring-shaped conductive bands in the matrix, so as to form the electrode.
