Abstract
A multi-segment ECG electrode includes a flexible basepad, a central segment defined on a surface of the basepad, and exterior segments defined on the surface of the basepad. The exterior segments may be sized, shaped and positioned relative to the central segment so that an average position of the exterior segments approximates a position of the central segment.

A multi-segment ECG electrode, comprising:
- a flexible basepad,
- a central conductive segment defined on the basepad,
- exterior conductive segments defined on the basepad and positioned around the central segment, and
- conductive traces extending from the central conductive segment and from each of the exterior conductive segments to a common region of the basepad,
- wherein:
- an average position of the exterior segments corresponds to a position of the central segment,
- the basepad further comprises a connection tail,
- the common region of the basepad is located at the connection tail, and
- a hole extends through the connection tail.
