Abstract
A method for fabricating an integral disposal electrode for establishing a low impedance electrical connection to a patient's skin. A web of flexible electrically nonconductive adhesive tape, a web of flexible electrically conductive sheet material, a web of flexible biocompatible electrically conductive adhesive polymer material, and a web of nonadhesive protective material are provided and laminated together to form a composite web. The web of adhesive polymer material has a width at least essentially equal to a width of the conductive sheet material web, and less than a width of the nonconductive adhesive tape web. Electrical terminals are attached to the web of conductive sheet material at spaced longitudinal locations. Individual electrodes are formed by severing the laminated composite web in a transverse direction at positions between adjacent spaced electrical terminals.
