Patent ID: 8320988

Claim:
A multi-medical electrode system comprising: a moderately conductive flexible member having a top side and a bottom side; a plurality of separate highly conductive patterns disposed on the conductive flexible member in a spaced apart relationship in order to form a string of separate electrodes; a moderately highly conductive adhesive layer disposed on the conductive flexible member for adhering the electrodes to a patient's skin; a connector, including a leadwire disposed on the conductive member and interconnecting the separate electrodes, for establishing electrical contact between the separate electrodes with an external apparatus, said leadwire having conductive portions in electrical communication with the electrodes and non-conductive portions between the electrodes; and leadwire structure for controlling conductivity between the leadwire conductive portions and the electrodes including a length variation of the leadwire conductive portion for each exposed portion along the leadwire.
