摘要 |
<p>This invention is a transcutaneous electrode comprising a sheet electrode member (41) 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) having an upper surface underlies the metal/metal chloride coating on the lower side of the electrode member. A current distributing mat (27) conductible adhered to the upper side of the sheet electrode perimeter of the electrode member, and includes an open mesh metalated carbon fiber web having a carbon impregnated pressure sensitive adhesive composition on upper and lower sides of the web. The mat is configured to be electrically conductive along the surfaces of the mat and transverse to the surfaces of the mat. In a further embodiment, the current distributing mat comprises a metal foil coated with a conductive polymer adhesive.</p> |
