Patent ID: 8897853

Claim:
A medical electrode unit adapted to be in contact with a patient's skin, comprising: a medical electrode including: an electrically conductive hydrogel adhesive layer; a non-conductive mesh grid formed with filaments and positioned underneath said adhesive layer, and interpenetrated by said electrically conductive hydrogel adhesive layer, and adapted to be in contact with a patient's skin to maintain said medical electrode thereat, thus forming an adhesive-skin interface; an adhesive remover solvent; at least one compartment filled with said adhesive remover solvent and embedded via radiation in the intermixture of said adhesive layer and the filaments of the mesh grid, said at least one compartment being adapted for positioning in close proximity to the patient's skin when said medical electrode is attached to the patient's skin, wherein said at least one compartment is defined by an impermeable envelope substantially fully surrounding said adhesive remover solvent, wherein said impermeable envelope has a portion exposed through said adhesive layer at a side thereof opposite to said adhesive skin interface; and wherein, upon application of a force towards said exposed portion of said impermeable envelope sufficient to break the envelope, said adhesive remover solvent passes directly to said adhesive-skin interface, thereby facilitating said medical electrode removal from the patient's skin.
