Abstract
An electrode having an extremely low profile and suitable for disposable use includes a base sheet constructed of a flexible conductive polymer. A tab is laminated to the top of the base sheet to form a pocket between the tab and the base sheet extending along the base sheet for receiving a hook connector. The hook connector has a bill and shank joined by a bend, the bill fitting between the pocket and the shank lying on top of the tab when the bill is so engaged to allow a low profile connection to the electrode. The elimination of rigid parts from the electrode improves its comfort and functionality.
