Abstract
An electrode device intended for medical equipment and arranged to be attached to a tissue of a body part of a patient, the electrode device including a clamping member, wherein the clamping member also includes a relatively thin metal sheet to be brought into an electrical connection with the body part, and is also configured and arranged to connect an electric conductive cable member to the clamping member for establishing an electric connection with the medical equipment, the connection being provided in such a way that the cable member is releasably connected to the clamping member, wherein the metal sheet forms a clip, which is arranged to be clamped to the body part by plastic deformation of the metal sheet without extending through the tissue and in such a way that electric signals are transferable between the medical equipment and the body part.
