Abstract:
1. An electrode comprising: an electrode body having a first and second side, wherein the first side comprises a flexible barrier layer comprising a heat-sealable material and the second side comprises a conductive layer; a lead wire that is connected to the flexible barrier layer of the electrode body on the second end and which electrically connects the electrode to a medical device via a path from the first side to the second side of the electrode body an electrically conductive gel layer disposed on the electrode body and which is further in electrical communication with the conductive layer; a release liner sealed to said flexible barrier layer around a periphery of said gel layer; a first peel tab disposed on the periphery of the electrode body on a first end; a second peel tab disposed on the periphery of the electrode body on a second end; and a strain relief tab which bonds the second peel tab to the lead wire in a configuration that releases strain between the lead wire and the flexible barrier layer.
