Dear Tapio
Electrodes You used have plastic parts ?
If so, what's method you use  to sterilize ?

To all
I use concentric autoclavable needle electrodes. For these, manifacturer suggests to sterilize
at 134 degree for 3 minutes, but I  prolonge this time up to  20 minutes. Do You think this procedure is not sure today ?
