In one embodiment of the invention the electrode is a thin stainless steel plate having a periphery shaped to provide a plurality of recesses in the contour thereof and the adhesive pad is a solid sheet having greater overall length and width dimensions than the electrode. Thus the adhesive pad extends over the recesses in the periphery of the electrode and provides greater adhesive area for adhering the electrode assembly to the skin of the patient. An external conductor is connectable to a conductive, single piece, solid metal stud or post attached to the electrode extending through an orifice in the adhesive pad. A pair of washers are mounted on the stud on either side of the adhesive pad for mechanically retaining the stud and electrode in position. | |
