BIOMEDICAL ELECTRODE HAVING BACKING WITH INTEGRAL CONNECTING STUD

摘要

A biomedical electrode (10) of the type configured to be positioned on the skin of a patient to provide an electrical interface between the patient and a medical instrument. The electrode includes a backing member (12), a silver/silver chloride conductive layer (20) overlaying the backing (12) and a layer of conductive adhesive (22) overlaying the conductive layer (20). The backing (12) is formed from a sheet of conductive polymer and includes an integral snap-type connector stud (14) molded therein.
