Patent ID: 7695430

Claim:
A medical electrode comprising: a conductive flexible member having a top side and a bottom side; a non-conductive flexible sheet disposed over the connector on 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; an 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, said adhesive covering an entire surface of said non-conductive flexible sheet enabling sealing to a user's skin outside of a perimeter of said conductive flexible member; a conductive pattern disposed on the conductive flexible member bottom side, the pattern being conterminous within a periphery thereof; a conductive adhesive disposed on the conductive flexible member bottom side and covering said conductive pattern, for adhering the electrode to a patient's skin; and a current distribution enabling connection in contact with the conductive flexible member topside and over said conductive pattern within borders of the conductive pattern for control of current distribution and establishing electrical contact with an external apparatus.
