Abstract
An electrode assembly for electrotherapy which is usable with a DC current generator which offers divided or biphase emission. The aforementioned assembly contains a conductive component (1) covered with a layer (3) of an adherent material of hydrogel, as well as an absorbent component for supplying water to the adherent material during use of the assembly. The absorbent component is filled with water and is situated between the conductive component (1) and the layer (3) of adherent material of hydrogel, so as to store and supply water to the adherent hydrogel layer.
