Abstract

Epidermal tissue is prepared and marked prior to attachment thereto of an electrode, such as an electrocardiograph electrode, by gently stroking the epidermal surface with an abrader device having fibers adequately stiff to dislodge cells from the epidermal tissue. The abrader device is sterilized and stored in a protective container prior to use.
