    This study presents an inexpensive, atraumatic electrode for electroretinography using a stainless steel wire loop. Animal recordings demonstrate comparable quality to traditional needle electrodes, offering a simpler alternative.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Electroretinography (ERG) is a crucial diagnostic tool for assessing retinal function.
    • Current ERG electrode methods can be costly, invasive, or uncomfortable for subjects.
    • Development of accessible and atraumatic ERG recording techniques is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, cost-effective, and atraumatic electrode for electroretinography.
    • To validate the efficacy of this new electrode design through animal studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple, inexpensive electrode was fabricated using a loop of ultra-lightweight stainless steel wire.
    • Scleral contact was achieved by positioning the wire loop between the eye and the lower eyelid.
    • Electroretinography recordings were performed on ophthalmologically normal dogs using the novel electrode.

    Main Results:

    • The novel stainless steel wire loop electrode produced high-quality electroretinography recordings.
    • The quality of recordings obtained with the new electrode was comparable to those obtained with conventional needle electrodes.
    • The method proved to be atraumatic and simple to implement.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method provides an inexpensive and atraumatic alternative for electroretinography electrode placement.
    • This technique is suitable for animal research and potentially for clinical applications.
    • The stainless steel wire loop electrode offers a practical solution for obtaining reliable electroretinographic data.
