Abstract

A microelectrode comprises an oblong electrically conducting electrode body covered by distal and proximal sections of a layer of insulating material except for an annular contact section disposed between them, a blunt distal bulge at the distal end of a radial extension substantially greater than that of the proximal section of non-conducting material. For implantation into soft tissue the microelectrode is provided with a support of a material dissolvable in body fluid. Also disclosed is a set of microelectrodes sharing such support, a method of manufacture of the microelectrode and the set, and uses of the microelectrode and the set.
