Abstract
Described are an electrode and electrode catheter using thin metallic threads or wires, for example, microwires having diameters as low as 10to 10meters or less. The embodiments allow for the efficient mounting of at least one electrode on a catheter, resulting in the creation of a flexible ring-microelectrode that is suitable for, amongst other things, the detection of myoelectrical activity in a patient's muscle, such as the diaphragm or other inspiratory-related muscle.
