Abstract
The present invention provides a lead wire for a medical electrode. The lead wire has a female snap connector at one end. Adjacent to the female snap connector is a male snap connector which is secured to the lead wire by means of a tether. The tether is preferably removably mounted on the lead wire and is most preferably adapted to slide along its length. The male snap connector is moved into proximity of the female connector. The male and female snap connectors are then aligned on opposite sides of a tab portion of a tab-type electrode and are then brought into contact and connected together through the tab to establish both a mechanical and an electrical connection with the tab of the electrode.
