Abstract

A biomedical electrode comprising a backing, a biocompatible pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), a bonding sheet, an electrical conductor, and an electrolyte composition is shown. The biocompatible PSA coats one surface of the backing. The bonding sheet has first and second faces smaller in surface area then the backing. The first face is bonded to the biocompatible PSA. The electrical conductor has a top face with first and second surfaces. The first surface spans a portion of the bonding sheet and the second surface adheres to the biocompatible PSA. The electrical conductor has a bottom face with a third surface opposing the first surface and a fourth surface opposing the second surface. In electrical contact with the third surface is the electrolyte composition. The electrolyte composition is also, adhered to a portion of bonding sheet. A continuous high speed and low cost method of manufacture is also shown.
