Abstract
An electrode system and the method of arranging the electrodes on the skin of a patient. The electrode system contains a plurality of electrode pads. At least some of the electrode pads have a convex side edge of a predetermined radius of curvature. At least some of the electrode pads have a concave side edge with the same predetermined radius of curvature. When applied to a patient's skin, two electrode pads are placed in adjacent abutment. The concave side edge of one electrode pad receives the convex side edge of the adjacent electrode pad. This produces a gapless adjoining connection between electrode pads that can be maintained throughout a wide range of orientations.
