Abstract
A medical electrode having a resilient terminal press fit onto an eyelet. The eyelet is plastic and has a conductive coating thereon. The terminal is made of a resilient nonmetallic composition, such as a polypropylene blend loaded with carbon fiber. An electrolyte composition is spread upon the bottom of the eyelet for making electrical contact with the skin of a patient. The eyelet, the terminal and the electrolyte composition are preferably all at least translucent to x-rays.
