Abstract

The signal conducting element of a medical electrode of the type bridged to skin by electrolyte and which is required to be X-ray transparent comprises a thin layer of a conductive paint adhered to a relatively thin supporting substrate, said substrate with adhered paint extending remotely from the electrolyte-to-skin interface for circuit connection and protected by a barrier which excludes electrolyte from the remote circuit connection.
