A pair of disposable medical electrodes for delivering high-energy defibrillation or pacing stimulation are provided and include a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode and the negative electrode each include an electrode member with a top face and a bottom face, a electrically conductive coating of a metal and a metal chloride, the coating being disposed on the bottom face, and an electrically conductive gel pad disposed on the coating. The amount of metal chloride included in the coating on the negative electrode is greater than the amount of metal chloride included in the coating on the positive electrode.

Differential gel body for a medical stimulation electrode

A disposable medical electrode for delivering high-energy defibrillation or pacing stimulation and having energy dispersion characteristics. A fanned wire contacts the top of an electrode member for delivering energy to and transmitting energy from the electrode. A hydrogel is disposed on the bottom of the electrode member and an electrically conductive metal/metal chloride ink coating underlies the hydrogel. The ink coating has (a) a center with a first amount of ink, (b) an inner edge defining the terminus of the center and a step at which the ink content of the ink coating drops from the first amount of ink to a lesser second amount of ink, (c) an outer edge defining the terminus of the ink, and (d) a predetermined gradient disposed between the inner edge at which the ink coating has the second amount of ink and the outer edge at which the ink is substantially absent.
