The invention relates to a device comprising a number of electrode assemblies (10), which can be applied to the skin surface (4) of an animal or human being and by means of which voltages and currents can be tapped from the skin surface (4), and comprising a flexible, in particular extendable, retaining element (6) formed by a planar or film-like molded part. According to the invention, the electrode assemblies (10) comprise a main body (1) and a number of pin electrodes (2) that protrude from the main body (1) in the same direction, the electrode assemblies (10) are fastened to the retaining element (6), and the main body (1) of the respective electrode assembly (10) is connected to the retaining element (6), wherein the pin electrodes (2) of all electrode assemblies (10) protrude in the same direction.本発明は、動物または人間の皮膚表面（４）に付着させ、電圧及び電流を皮膚表面（４）から引き込むいくつかの電極アセンブリ（１０）及び、弾力性、特に伸長可能な平坦またはフィルム状に形成された成形品を含む保定部品（６）を備える装置に関する。本発明によれば、電極アセンブリ（１０）は本体部（１）及び、本体部（１）から同一方向に突出するいくつかの電極ピン（２）を備え、電極アセンブリ（１０）は保定部品（６）に留められ、それぞれの電極アセンブリ（１０）の本体部（１）は全ての電極アセンブリ（１０）の電極ピン（２）が同一方向に突出するように保定部品（６）に連結される。【選択図】図１ａ～１ｃ
