Abstract
A low-cost, disposable electrode for body surface stimulating applications having a backing layer formed from a sheet of foamed plastic material which is generally divided into two halves by a transversely extending fold line. The first half has an opening extending through the thickness dimension thereof and on a surface of the second half is adhesively affixed a flexible, conductive sheet which is so positioned that when the backing layer is folded along the fold line, the flexible conductive sheet fits through the opening formed on the first half. Completing the assembly is a layer of conductive adhesive which is affixed to the undersurface of the foamed plastic layer so as to abut the surface of the flexible conductive sheet exposed through the opening and an electrical lead connected to the flexible conductive sheet.
