Abstract
A medical electrode is provided which includes a flexible tin backing coated with a flexible hydrated gel matrix adapted to contact and conform to the skin. The matrix is composed of a hydrated polysaccharide gum, a liquid hydrating agent such as a polyhydric alcohol and water, an electrolyte including one or more tin salts dissolved in the liquid and preferably a stabilizer present in sufficient quantity to prevent the tin salts from forming insoluble reaction products.
