The electrode (10) has a backing material (16), preferably foam, having an aperture (20). A protective web (12) at least partially secured to the backing material (16) covers the aperture (20). A removeable liner (18) is positioned between the protective web (12) and the backing material (16). An electrically conductive adhesive (28) is positioned adjacent the backing material (16) on the opposite side from the protective web (12). A second removeable release liner (30) is positioned adjacent the electrically conductive adhesive (28) opposite from the backing material (16). A lead wire (22) having a conductive portion (24) is insertable under the protective web (12) to be secured there upon the removal of the release liner (18), by the protective web (12) and the electrically conductive adhesive (28). A bottom release liner (30) may be removed and the biomedical electrode (10) may be secured to a body (34). The conductive portion (24) of the lead wire (22) should be silver or silver plated and preferably subjected to chloride treatment. | InventorApplicationNo. 06/892506 filed on 08/01/1986US Classes:600/392, Having release sheet600/396, Silver/silver chloride containing600/397, Electrolyte containing607/152Flexible sheet or resilient padExaminersPrimary: Cohen, Lee S.Attorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References3170459, 3865770, 4008721, Tape electrode for transmitting electrical signals through the skinIssued on: 02/22/1977 Inventor: Burton4067342, Tape electrode Issued on: 01/10/1978 Inventor: Burton4265253, Skin conducting electrode and electrode assembly Issued on: 05/05/1981 Inventor: Abraham4319579, Reusable medical electrode having disposable electrolyte carrier Issued on: 03/16/1982 Inventor: Cartmell4353372, Medical cable set and electrode therefor Issued on: 10/12/1982 Inventor: Ayer4409981, Medical electrode Issued on: 10/18/1983 Inventor: Lundberg4413080, Water-dispersible pressure-sensitive adhesive and tape made therewith Issued on: 11/01/1983 Inventor: Blake4458696, T.E.N.S.
