<p>A capacitively coupled indifferent electrode 10 for use in electrosurgical procedures is provided which is safe and reliable to use. The electrode includes a backing pad 12, an electrically conductive metal foil 14 adhered to one surface of the pad, a layer of dielectric material 16 completely overlying the foil, and a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive covering the dielectric layer. The electrode is placed on a patient's skin and may be connected to the return side of an electrosurgical generator through a cable which is connected through the backing pad to the electrode, e.g. by means of a rivet 22 on which a connector 26 is crimped. The dielectric layer 16 may be formed by a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. <IMAGE></p> |
