Abstract
An electrode belt made up of a strip of pile-backed foam on which a sheet of conductive silicone rubber is mounted by a snapped together fastener which clamps the sheet to the belt and compresses the sheet to form a suction cup when the belt is applied against the skin of the patient, especially when coated with conductive gel or water. The snap fastener provides means for convenient connection to the electrode leads for an apnea detector, an electro-cardiograph or a recorder for pneumogram or cardiogram signals which are transmitted through the conductive sheet and the fastener to the leads.
