Dry electrodes are electrodes for attachment to human skin without skin preparation or the use of electrolyte gels. The electrode includes a substrate, electrically conductive particles with at least one point, in contact with the substrate, a supporting layer that envelopes the electrically conductive particles with points that protrude from the supporting layer, and an electrical connector. Some electrodes have an electrically conductive substrate, other electrodes have an electrically conductive supporting layer.

Dry electrodes

An electrode assembly for a medical device system includes an electrode, a shunted lead circuit, and a self-healing material integrated into the shunted lead circuit. The shunted lead circuit is designed to shunt currents induced by relatively high frequency radiation, such as MRI radiation. The self-healing material has a conductive layer and a dielectric layer, where the dielectric layer includes at least one of an oxide, an organic coating, and a composite.
