Electrocardiogram electrode apparatus

摘要

The present invention provides electrode apparatus for use in taking electrocardograms (ECGs) in ambulatory mode according to the Holter method. The apparatus includes a metal electrode comprising a disc and a stud to which a flexible electrical condutor is connected. A flexible sponge disc is fitted over the stud, the disc having an adhesive-coated lower face, whereby to secure the disc and the electrode to the patient's skin. To protect the electrode from shocks and from pulls on the conductor, it is covered with a cup-shaped cover member presenting a base a side wall and a flange. The bottom surface of the flange is coated with adhesive whereby it is secured to the patient's skin with the electrode, disc, and a slack portion of the conductor within it.
