With close contact of the electrodes of electroshock devices with the skin and a discharge duration of 5-8 seconds, no macroscopically visible skin damage has been found. A microscopic examination revealed minor changes. Skin changes associated with electric exposure were observed when injuries were inflicted from a distance of about 0.5 to 1 cm, accompanied by the passage of a spark discharge between the electrodes and the skin, as well as when injuries were inflicted through layers of fabrics (cotton, linen, and polyester). The morphology of skin damage produced by the action of electrical discharge through various tissues differed. The morphology of skin damage caused by electrical discharge through various tissues differed. During the microscopic study of the skin, pronounced changes characteristic of thermal and electrical exposure were determined. Product Description popup.authors popup.nrat_date 2023-05-13 Close
