MRI Leadwires and Electrodes
For the past 5 years, Plastics One has been working on developing new leadwires and electrodes for
MRI applications. The Carilion Biomedical Institute has partnered with us and made available their MRI facility
to facilitate our testing of various new electrodes. Plastics One has also worked with a leading textile
manufacturer to develop a proprietory non-metallic conductor for use in MRI products.

E-Textiles
Plastics One has worked with several manufacturers and universities in creating connectors for e-textile
applications (e-textiles are fabrics with built-in conductors and components). In 2002 we created the first
fabric-based USB connector. Our focus has been on termination techniques and connectors.

Animal Electrodes
We are also working to develop a more humane electrode for veterinary applications. Our concepts and
prototypes have been tested at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (Blacksburg, Va.),
and are continuing in development.
