New Publication: Development and Evaluation of 3D‐Printed Dry Microneedle Electrodes for Surface Electromyography
Tuesday, 2 March, 2021
The Medical Device Design Group has had its newest paper (opens in a new window)Development and Evaluation of 3D‐Printed Dry Microneedle Electrodes for Surface Electromyography published in (opens in a new window)Advanced Materials Technologies. In the work, Kevin Krieger et al. developed dry 3D-printed stainless steel microneedle electrodes as an alternative to commercial wet electrodes and evaluated their performance in the measurement of surface electromyography (sEMG).
