Abstract:
1. A medical electrode for detecting and transmitting electric pulses from a body surface of a patient to an electric pulse processor, the medical electrode comprising: an outer carrier; an inner carrier, wherein said outer carrier and said inner carrier are connected at a defined number of geometrically distributed points, wherein said geometrically distributed points form an outer edge of said inner carrier and are perforated, whereby said outer carrier and said inner carrier can be separated at said outer edge, said inner carrier having a gripping area which is defined by a part of said outer edge of said inner carrier, wherein said part of the outer edge is perforated continuously to fully separate said inner carrier from said outer carrier along said part of the outer edge of said inner carrier; an adhesion area formed on an underside of said outer carrier and said inner carrier for adhering the medical electrode to the body surface of the patient, said adhesion area extending along said underside of said inner carrier to a region adjacent to said gripping area with said adhesion area interrupted in said gripping area such that said gripping area is free of adhesive; a contact element; and a conductive area arranged concentrically to said contact element for establishing contact with the body surface of the patient, wherein said contact element and said conductive area are arranged within said inner carrier.
