The disposable sensor includes at least one flexible woven ribbon adapted to encircle a portion (e.g., the chest or abdomen) of the patient. The woven flexible ribbon includes a plurality of elastic threads extending in a lengthwise direction. The elastic threads are interconnected by an inelastic thread extending in a widthwise direction. Each flexible ribbon includes a conductor strip secured thereto. The conductor strip extends in a zig-zag or other predetermined pattern.
