Abstract
An internal paddle electrode includes: an electrode which is to be in contact with a living body to apply a voltage; a cable which includes a voltage supply path that extends between a voltage supply source and the electrode; a handle which includes: a first portion that supports the electrode and is hermetically sealed with the electrode; and a second portion that is connected to the cable and is hermetically sealed with the cable; and a gas passage through which a gas in the handle communicates with external air that is outside the handle.
Claims4
An internal paddle electrode comprising:
- an electrode which is configured to be in contact with a living body to apply a voltage;
- a cable which is adapted to be connected to a voltage supply source and the electrode and which includes a line that is electrically connected to the voltage supply source and the electrode, and a shielding material that covers the line and defines an outermost shell of the cable, the shielding material which includes a plurality of through holes that extend along the line and that are formed at an inner wall portion of the shielding material;
- a handle which includes:
- a first portion that supports the electrode and is hermetically sealed with the electrode;
- and
- a second portion that is connected to the cable and is hermetically sealed with the cable;
- and
- a gas passage which is disposed in the cable and which is adapted to communicate between a gas in the handle and external air that is outside the handle, the gas passage which is defined by the plurality of through holes and a gap that is formed between the line and the shielding material and that is surrounding by the plurality of through holes.
