Abstract
An improved medical electrode is particularly adapted for transmitting DC currents. The electrode includes (1) an electrically conductive substrate electrically connected to a stud member and chemically inert with respect to the electrically and ionically conductive material, such as a gel, coupling the electrode to the skin of the user, and (2) a predetermined amount of an electrically-conductive material, preferably silver, disposed on the substrate in spaced relationship to the stud member and interfacing with the electrically and ionically conductive material.
