Abstract
A hand-held bipolar electrical stimulus probe includes first and second insulated conductors having unequal diameters and a stable side-by-side orientation. The conductors are provided with visually perceptible indicia such as color coding for identification. The conductors are carried within a flexible jacket and the terminal portions thereof are deformable. The conductors are each insulated substantially up to their tips to prevent current shunting. The probe may include a momentary contact switch permitting selective monopolar or bipolar operation.
