ABSTRACT:
A temporarily implantable electrode device, intended for sensing electrical signals from living tissue, has an insulating sheath of resorbable material, and at least one non-toxic, liquid conductor contained inside the insulating sheath in order to form an electrical conductor which, via an electrode adapted for interaction with living tissue can sense and carry electrical signals from living tissue to a medical apparatus connected to the electrode device. The resorbable material ultimately dissolves completely into the body of the subject in whom the electrode device was temporarily implanted, and the non-toxic, liquid conductor simultaneously mixes with other fluids, making explantation of the electrode device unnecessary.
