Abstract
A device with a wall (6) designed to tightly enclose a body part is made of an electrically non-conductive material (9) and has a shape adapted to the body part or adapting thereto as a result of the elasticity of the wall, wherein an inner face (7) of the wall (6) comes to bear on the skin (14) of the body part, and the inner face (7) is provided with at least one electrically conductive portion (4) which, in order to transmit electrical signals from or to the skin (14) of the body part, is arranged all the way through the electrically non-conductive material (9) of the wall (6), permits reliable transmission of electrical signals with a simple design of the liner, by virtue of the fact the electrically conductive portion (4) is covered by the electrically non-conductive material (9) and is connected to at least one conductor (5, 5′) passing through the electrically non-conductive material (9).
