摘要 |
This invention is a disposable transcutaneous electrode (10) comprising a sheet electrode member (21) of electrically conductive carbon filled polymer, an electrically conductive metal/metal coating~ (23) on at least a major portion of the lower side of the electrode member. A pad of electrically conductive gel (25) underlies the metal/metal chloride coating (23). A current distributing mat (27) conductive adhered to the upper side of the electrode member (See formula I) (21) has a perimeter spaced inwardly of the perimeter of the electrode member (21), and includes an open mesh metallized carbon fiber web having a carbon impregnated pressure sensitive adhesive composition on upper and lower sides of the web. The electrode member (21) and the current distributing mat (27) are configured to be x-ray transparent and capable of conducting energy at levels sufficient for defibrillation.
