Abstract
An improved EKG electrode and package has a rectangularly shaped foam body member which is sealingly adhered to a first side of a plastic liner. A gelled foam disk is centrally attached to the same side of the foam body member. A plastic sealing cap covering the gelled disk is attached to the other side of the polyethylene liner material. An electrical contact is centered with respect to the disk and passes through the foam body member. The inventive method includes the steps of punching a centrally located hole in the foam body member, attaching an electrical contact through said hole, applying a foam disk to the body member, adjacent one side of the electrical contact, injecting gel into said disk, and sealingly applying a formed plastic cap over the gelled disk.
