An electrode configured for placement in contact with a surface of a patient's body, the electrode comprising: a flexible support; and a plurality of parallel electrode elements (45; 55, 55') which are supported by the flexible support to permit the electrode to conform to the surface of the patient's body and separated by open spaces (48; 58), wherein the electrode elements (45; 55, 55') are made of conductive wire (43) surrounded by a dielectric coating (42) to insulate the conductive wire (43) from the patient's body when the electrode is placed in contact with the patient's body, wherein the open spaces (48; 58) are distributed and sized to permit moisture on the surface of the patient's body to escape via the open spaces (48; 58) when the electrode is placed in contact with the patient's body.
