Patent ID: 7697999

Claim:
A medical electrode comprising: a conductive flexible member having a top side and a bottom side; a connector in contact with the conductive flexible member for establishing electrical contact with an external apparatus; a non-conductive flexible sheet disposed over the conductive flexible member top side, said non-conductive flexible sheet having dimensions greater than said conductive flexible member causing an overlap thereof by a sheet perimeter; a central adhesive for bonding said non-conductive flexible sheet to the top side of said conductive flexible member and securing said connector to said conductive flexible member top side; a separate perimeter adhesive, of different composition than said central adhesive, disposed about said central adhesive, on the sheet perimeter for sealing of the non-conductive flexible sheet perimeter to a user's skin; and a conductive adhesive, disposed on the conductive flexible member bottom side in a spaced apart relationship with said perimeter adhesive, and positioned for adhering the conductive flexible member to the patient's skin.
