A medical electrode assembly for an electrocardiograph or similar device is provided. The medical electrode assembly comprises an electrolyte pad having an electrolyte layer which may be secured to the skin of a patient and a backing member made from a nonconductive material being coextensively superposed directly onto the electrolyte layer. The electrolyte pad is used in conjunction with a reusable lead wire connector having at least one surface contacting the electrolyte layer of the electrolyte pad. The reusable lead wire connector includes a set of jaws which may be compressed together for contacting the electrolyte pad. The set of jaws may be formed of a nonconductive binder material having a conductive filler dispersed therein. A metallic conductive material, such as a silver/silver chloride system, is superposed over the nonconductive binder material.

Medical electrode assembly

An electrocardiograph system is provided wherein a single electrocardiograph cable may be used to interconnect a plurality of lead wires extending from a plurality of associated medical electrodes with a number of different ECG monitors. Each ECG monitor is connected to an adaptor which properly interconnects each monitor with the single electrocardiograph cable. A wire locking mechanism may be provided at one end of the electrocardiograph cable for securely coupling the lead wires to the cable. Further, a cable coupling mechanism may be provided at the other end of the cable for securely coupling the cable to the adaptor.
