New disposable ERG electrode made of anomalous polyvinyl alcohol gel.
We developed a disposable electrode for the electroretinogram made of anomalous polyvinyl alcohol gel. This new hydrogel is a rubber-like elastic with water content 80-90 wt%, but insoluble in water. The elastic electrode plate is approximately 0.3-1.0 mm thick, sterile, flexible, and easily cut to the desired shape. Its low cost permits it to be discarded after use.
