Abstract
A monitoring electrode for attachment to a patient for use with electronic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment has a laminate construction including a foam pad, a conductor carrier strip having a metallized conductor thereon adjacent to the foam pad, the conductor carrier and a portion of the foam pad being covered by a conductive film, also applied to the foam pad in the form of a strip. The surface of the foam pad and the exposed portion of the conductive film strip to be attached to the patient are covered with an adhesive layer. The foam strip has a recess in the periphery thereof forming a tab onto which the metallized conductor extends, to which a lead of the diagnostic equipment can be attached, such as by a clip.
