DUAL ELEMENT SENSOR MEDICAL ELECTRODE

摘要

A medical sensor electrode (10) includes an electrically conductive adhesive (12) for establishing electrical contact with a mammalian body to enable the electrode to monitor physiological electrode potentials from the body. A first sensor element (18) includes a flexible electrically conductive disk disposed on the conductive adhesive with the disk having substantial smaller dimension than the dimension of the conductive adhesive. A second sensor element (22) includes an electrical conductive member disposed over the first sensor element and adhesive. A non-conductive backing (32) is disposed over the second sensor element and conductive adhesive with the backing and the second sensor element having apertures for providing access to the first sensor element. A lead wire (36) is connected to the first sensor element through the backing and the second sensor element and a non-conductive label (42) is disposed over the backing apparatus and end of the lead wire.
