Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005087124A1] The invention relates to a neutral electrode for HF surgery and a conductive gel. The neutral electrode comprises at least one electrically conductive section which can enter into contact with a section of the body of a patient. The neutral electrode is further developed in such a way that it is possible to reduce transitional resistance, particularly with regard to problematic skin and/or tissue conditions, in a simple low-cost manner. The neutral electrode is thus provided with an agent for promoting circulation of the blood, resulting in a reinforced blood circulation for the section of the body entering into contact with the section of the electrode. The conductive gel for application of a neutral electrode to a section of the body of a patient contains capsaicin or the same agent for promoting circulation of the blood.
