<p>Electrode construction (30; 120; 170; 170"; 192) of the type including a terminal arrangement (46; 146; 176; 196) and support means (36; 124; 171; 199) for said terminal arrangement, said support means adapted for the transcutaneous application of the electrode to a patient. The support means may be fabricated from a layer of foam (36) or microporous material (84), or plural layer employing a combination of both, or from a layer (171; 199) of conductive adhesive. The terminal arrangement may be of single terminal (46) or multi-terminal design (146), and is provided by a conductive pattern (44; 144; 174; 195) printed on a semi-flexible plastic-like sheet (42; 128; 172; 194), wherein said pattern is printed with a conductive ink of the type employing a conductive metal, such as silver, in a binder composition. The disclosure also contemplates novel structure (60; 60") for connection of the electrode to a lead wire, as well as several novel, overall designs for the construction of the electrode support means, as well as a novel method of construction for a single terminal electrode (30) in accordance with the concepts of the disclosure. </p> |
