ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR FOR BIOMEDICAL ELECTRODES AND BIOMEDICAL ELECTRODES PREPARED THEREFROM

摘要

An electrical conductor and a biomedical electrode using the electrical conductor are disclosed. The electrical conductor has a flexible, non-conductive film (2) and two different carbon-containing coatings (4, 6) on a major surface of the film (2). The electrical conductor coatings are a low porous carbon-containing coating (4) and a high porous carbon-containing coating (16). The low porous carbon-containing coating (4) contacts the film (2) and the high porous carbon-containing coating (6) contacts the low porous carbon-containing coating (4). A tab/pad style of biomedical electrode using the electrical conductor has a field of ionically conductive media containing electrolyte contacting the high porous carbon-containing coating (6). The electrolyte diffuses into the high porous carbon-containing coating (6) for electrochemical advantages.
