A neutral electrode (12) according to the invention is produced on a patient (11) by applying an electrically conductive and solidifiable mass to the patient's skin. An electrically conductive inlay (17), which is or can be connected to a neutral electrode connection cable (13), can be arranged before, during or after the application of this mass on the electrode body being formed or embedded in the same. The inlay (17) is used to make large-area electrical contact with the electrode body (16), which in turn establishes reliable electrical contact with the patient (11). |
