Abstract

An improved needle electrode for use with a hypodermic syringe attachment which includes a needle member, a conductor wire directly attached to an uninsulated portion of the needle member, insulating material formed around at least a portion of the needle member and the conductor wire thereby to form a handle which has a smooth external configuration preferably of ogival shape for easy gripping and dexterous manipulation by an operator. The hypodermic syringe attachment is capable of connection to the handle and an electric lead is capable of connection to the conductor wire. The insulating material is directly formed, as by molding, around the needle member and the conductor wire.
