Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2394530A2] A brush body (20) of a toothbrush (1) includes bristle bundles (30), each formed by a plurality of filaments (40). Each filament includes a core (41), which contains a conductive material, and an insulative sheath (42), which covers a side of the core. Each bristle bundle includes a basal portion at which basal ends of the cores are fused, solidified, and integrated with one another. The bristle bundle also includes a distal portion, which is formed by a distal end of each core. A ratio of the conductive material at the basal portion is equal to a ratio of the conductive material at the distal portion.
