Conductive rubber electrode
Abstract
Abstract A THROWAWAY ITEM FOR EFFECTING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WITH THE SKIN COMPRISES A SKIN-CONTACTING ELECTRODE OF FLEXIBLE, CONDUCTIVE PLASTIC MATERIAL HELD AGAINST THE SKIN BY A PLIANT, ADHESIVE MEMBER TO WHICH THE ELECTRODE IS ADHERED. A TERMINAL IS MOUNTED ON THE ELECTRRODE AND EXTENDS THEREFROM TO PROVIDE A CONNECTION POINT FOR EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL APPARATUS, SUCH AS AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH MACHINE OR A HEART PACER. A CONNECTOR CLIP IS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED WITH THE APPARATUS BY A LEAD AND IS ATTACHED TO THE TERMINAL AFTER THE ITEM IS APPLIED TO THE SKIN. THE METHOD OF APPLYING THE ITEM TO THE SKIN TO EFFECT AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THEREBETWEEN IS CHARACTERIZED BY PRESSURE RESPONSIVE ADHESIVE ATTACHMENT AND BY BOTH THE SKIN AND THE FACE OF THE ITEM IN CONTACT THEREWITH BEING DRY.
