Abstract
An electrode set is disclosed herein. The electrode set includes a base comprising an insulating material, and a plurality of electrodes disposed on the base. The electrodes comprise a generally exposed conductive material. The electrode set also includes a plurality of conductors disposed on the base. The conductors comprise a generally insulated conductive material, and are each connected to one of the electrodes. The electrodes are positioned on the base relative to each other so that they can be collectively placed on specific portions of a patient's anatomy.

An electrode set comprising:
- a base comprising an insulating material;
- a plurality of electrodes disposed on the base, said plurality of electrodes comprising a generally exposed conductive material;
- and
- a plurality of conductors disposed on the base, said plurality of conductors comprising a generally insulated conductive material, each of said plurality of conductors being connected to one of said plurality of electrodes;
- wherein said plurality of electrodes are positioned on the base relative to each other such that they can be collectively placed on specific portions of a patient's anatomy.
An electrocardiograph system comprising:
- a controller configured to monitor cardiac electrical activity;
- and
- an electrode set connected to the controller comprising:
- a base comprising an insulating material;
- a plurality of electrocardiograph electrodes disposed on the base, said plurality of electrocardiograph electrodes comprising a generally exposed conductive material;
- and
- a plurality of conductors disposed on the base, said plurality of conductors comprising a generally insulated conductive material, each of said plurality of conductors being connected to one of said plurality of electrocardiograph electrodes.
A method comprising:
- providing a base composed of a first insulating material;
