The present invention provides a medical electrode comprising a conductive metal base comprising a plate element and a boss formed on the plate element and a conductive support cylinder separate from the conductive metal base. The conductive support cylinder is rotatably mounted to the conductive metal base while remaining in electrical communication with said conductive metal base. The present invention also provides a limb clamp for an ECG device. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent bending of the cable connecting with the medical electrode, thereby avoiding cable failure.

Medical electrode and limb clamp for an ECG device

The present invention provides a medical electrode, which comprises an annular adhesive pad () to be attached to a living being, a conductive pad () disposed in the central hole () of the annular adhesive pad, a first conductive snap element (), a conductive element () and a sealing film (). The conductive element () is configured to establish electrical communication between the conductive pad () and the first conductive snap element () and the sealing film () is attached to the annular adhesive pad () and to fix at least a portion of the conductive element () between the annular adhesive pad () and the sealing film (). The flexibility and/or length of the conductive element is chosen to be large enough so as to allow the first conductive snap element () to move without causing the conductive pad () to move, resulting in reliable electrical contact between the conductive pad and the skin of the living being.
