NEW MYOELECTRODE OPTIONS

Abstract

Practitioners have been requesting improvements in myoelectrodes to facilitate better client fittings. Greater sensitivity, better immunity to external interference, more and better (linear) gain adjustment and good common mode rejection are all desirable features. Mechanical changes were also needed to create more cosmetically appealing sockets. Preamplifier cases had to be small and thin and provided with electrode cables of various lengths. When LTI designed their Remote Electrode System, they addressed all of these issues. This new remote electrode system has improved performance and low-profile packaging. The CavityBack™ Electrodes are available in three sizes/shapes, so the prosthetists can choose the best for their client. In addition to the cables for test sockets and soft socket liners, cables can be adapted for snap-on attachment to roll-on silicone sleeves.
