Abstract
A medical electrode includes a conductive flexible member having a top side and a bottom side with a non-conductive flexible sheet covering the conductive flexible member top side. A connector in contact with the conductive flexible member bottom side is provided for establishing electrical contact with an external electrical apparatus. A conductive adhesive adhered to the conductive flexible member bottom side provides electrical conduction to a patient's skin.
