A transcutaneous medical electrode includes a flexible moderately conductive sheet (14), and a conductive adhesive disposed on one side of the flexible sheet for electrically coupling the flexible sheet to a user's body. A highly conductive grid (24) disposed on another side of the flexible sheet provides an electrical current distribution through the flexible sheet, and connective adhesive into a user's body. The conductive grid includes at least one array (40) of conductive ink lines. Electrical conduction is established with the conductive grid through the use of a second array (38) of conductive ink lines disposed on a flexible non-conductive sheet. An adhesive enables positioning of the flexible non-conductive sheet onto the conductive grid with the conductive ink lines on the flexible non-connective sheet crossing, and electrically contacting the conductive grid conductive ink lines in order to modify the current distribution provided by the conductive grid.
