Biomedical electrode having centrally-positiond tab construction.

摘要

A biomedical electrode (40 or 70) which generally comprises a conductor member (42 or 72) partially overlapping a separator construction (41 or 71). The conductor member is preferably a thin flat, flexible member having a pad portion (51 or 77) and a tab portion (52 or 78). The tab portion overlaps the separator construction in a manner which centrally positions mechanical and electrical contact of electrode with an electrical lead to electrical instrumentation. Beneath pad portion and all or a substantial portion of separator construction is a conductive adhesive (43 or 73) to provide good electrical interface between skin of a subject and the electrical instrumentation. Methods of manufacturing biomedical electrodes from strips of components are also disclosed. <IMAGE>
