Abstract
An electrode providing electrical contact with a patient's skin includes a conductive member adapted for connection to an external electrical apparatus, and a multilayer system for providing electrical interface between the patient's skin and the conductive member. The multilayer system includes a first layer of an electrically conductive gel having a relatively low peel strength, for removably contacting the patient's skin, and a second layer of an electrically conductive gel having a relatively high peel strength, for contacting said conductive member. The first and second layers are laminated with a sponge third layer therebetween.
