Abstract
The pad assembly of the present invention is adapted to be used with a defibrillator paddle. The assembly includes a bottom sheet and a top sheet, with a flexible second sheet sandwiched therebetweeen. The second sheet is comprised of an electrically conductive polymer having the characteristic of being inherently adhesive on both of its upper and lower surfaces. The upper and lower surfaces are detachably adhered to the top and bottom sheet members. A tab is operatively attached to the second sheet member so as to permit manual grasping of the second sheet member without engaging the adhesive upper and lower surfaces of the second sheet member. The device is used by removing the bottom sheet member from the second sheet member, and by placing the second sheet member in covering relation over the electrodes of a defibrillator paddle. When the defibrillator is used on a patient, and top sheet member is removed and the tacky second sheet member is placed in contact with the patient's chest.
