Abstract
A transcutaneous nerve and/or muscle stimulation electrode is provided which may be contoured to the skin areas of a patient and stretched therewith while impulse signals are electrically conducted into the body. This stretching ability is provided by a conductive fabric which includes an array of conductive fibers with interstitial areas therebetween. A conductive adhesive fills interstitial areas of the conductive fabric and provides for adhering the electrode to the patient's skin.
