Abstract
A medical electrode includes a first conductive polymerizable gel layer for electrically coupling the electrode to a body and a flexible porous electrical conductor disposed on the first gel layer. A second conductive polymerizable gel layer disposed on the flexible porous electrical conductor and polymerized with the first layer through the porous conductor. An electrical connector disposed in connect with the second gel layer enables the electrical connection to an outside power source, or monitoring device, and an insulative backing is adhered to the second gel layer to prevent inadvertent contact therewith.
Claims24
A medical electrode comprising:
- a first conductive gel layer for electrically coupling the electrode to a body;
- a flexible electrical conductor disposed on the first gel layer;
- a second conductive gel layer disposed on said flexible electrical conductor, the second gel layer being more electrically conductive than the first gel layer;
- an electrical connection disposed in contact with the second gel layer;
- and
- an insulative backing adhered to the second gel layer.
A medical electrode comprising:
- a conductive adhesive gel including a first gel layer and a second gel layer, said second gel layer being more electrically conductive than the first gel layer;
- an electrical conductor embedded in said conductive adhesive gel between the first and second layers;
- an electrical connector disposed in contact with a surface of said second gel layer;
- an insulative backing adhered to the gel layer surface.
