Medical electrode

An electrode providing electrical contact with a patient's skin, said electrode comprising:

• a conductive member including means for connection to an external electrical apparatus;
• and
• multilayer means for providing electrical interface between the patient's skin and said conductive member, said multilayer means including a plurality of gel layers, each gel layer having a different adhesive property, a first of the plurality of gel layers having an adhesivity enabling the electrode to be removably adhered to the patient's skin, a second of the plurality of gel layers having an adhesivity to permanently bond said multilayer means to said conductive member and a third gel layer, disposed between the first and second gel layers.
