The electrode (10) contains a protective, electrically insulative web 12) and an adhesive (16) adjacent one side of the web (12) which is adapted to be oriented to the body. A release liner (18) is placed between the web (12) next to adhesive (16) to facilitate removal and placement of an electrical lead wire (14). An electrically conductive film (22) is positioned adjacent the adhesive (16) opposite the release liner (18). Finally, another layer of adhesive (24) which is electrically conductive is positioned adjacent the electrically conductive film (22) opposite the layer (16of adhesive, which electrically conductive adhesive (24) is adapted to be applied to a body. Alternatively, the electrode (10) has a metallic coating (34) applied to the bottom side of a protective, electrically insulative web (32). A release line (18) separates the metallic coating (34) of the protective web (32) from an electrically conductive adhesive (24) which is adapted to be applied to a body. | InventorApplicationNo. 06/915138 filed on 10/03/1986US Classes:600/392, Having release sheet600/396, Silver/silver chloride containing600/397, Electrolyte containing607/149, Means for holding applicator against body tissue607/152Flexible 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: Burton4409981, Medical electrode Issued on: 10/18/1983 Inventor: Lundberg4413080, Water-dispersible pressure-sensitive adhesive and tape made therewith Issued on: 11/01/1983 Inventor: Blake4422461, Electrode Issued on: 12/27/1983 Inventor: Glumac4458696, T.E.N.S.
