Apertured adhesively applied body electrode apparatus and method

摘要

An apertured flexible body electrode is first adhesively affixed to the external clean and dry body surface of a living subject. Thereafter, electrode gels or other preparations are inserted through the aperture(s) into the interface between the electrode and the subject's body surface. The apertures may thereafter be closed (e.g., with an adhesive-backed covering) to prevent subsequent leakage of the electrode gel or other preparation.
