<p>A defibrillator electrode comprising a substrate having a periphery, a foil plate adhered to the substrate, a retaining ring defining a volume adhered around the periphery of the substrate, a conductive hydrogel adhesive containing an electrolyte disposed over the foil plate within the volume of the retaining ring, and a release liner disposed over the conductive hydrogel adhesive. The electrolyte is preferrably potassium bromide. Also included is a post for making an electrical connection with the electrode. The post has a substantially cylindrical portion with an end, an indentation on the spherical portion, and a spherical ball on the end, wherein the indentation and the spherical ball are adapted to mate with corresponding portions of a plug to which the post is connected. In another aspect, the invention provides a post having a substantially disk-shaped body portion and a top portion disposed on the body portion, the body portion having a hole extending diametrically therethrough to receive a wire for establishing electrical connection with the electrode. In still another aspect, the invention provides a post having a substantially cup-shaped body portion having a wall, a groove in the wall, and a snap ring disposed in the groove. In all of these aspects, the post has a portion adapted to extend through a hole in the electrode and to be crimped thereon. The invention also includes a washer for making electrical contact between the foil plate and the post.</p> |
