Abstract
A bioelectrode having a backing, a conductive layer adjacent to the backing, and a layer of conductive adhesive adjacent to the conductive layer. This bioelectrode is designed to have two special configurations. It is originally manufactured in its first configuration wherein the backing forms a sealed protective enclosure for the layer of conductive adhesive. When a physician is ready to apply the electrode to a patient, the electrode is readily converted to its second configuration wherein the layer of conductive adhesive is exposed for contacting and adhering the bioelectrode to the body of the patient.
