Electrode designs

Electrode designs refer to the shape, material, and configuration of devices that conduct electrical signals to or from the body. They are crafted to ensure efficient signal transfer, minimize discomfort, and reduce skin irritation. Different designs, such as flat adhesive patches, needle-like implants, or flexible electrodes, are used based on the application—whether for monitoring brain activity, muscle movement, or delivering therapy. Advanced electrodes incorporate materials like conductive polymers or nanomaterials to improve performance. Overall, thoughtful electrode design optimizes signal quality, patient comfort, and device longevity.
