Abstract

An essentially dry, disposable biomedical electrode is disclosed having an improved electrically-conductive material at the interface between the electrode and the skin. The conductive material comprises a dermally-nonirritating cohesive, conformable, synthetic hydrophilic polymer containing at least 5 mole percent of monomer units containing a salt of a carboxylic acid.
