Abstract:
In one embodiment, the electrode is used in conjunction with a lead wire and a head that attaches to the electrode. The electrode itself includes first and second main face each having, among other things, a central zone. The central zone of each face is made of an electrically conductive material such that electrical current flows between the first and second main faces. The first face is releasably adhered to the skin of the patient or wearer. Radially outboard of the central zone mounted on the second main or outer face of the electrode is an elongate member. A first portion of the elongate member is attached to the second main face. The second portion of the elongate member is movable with respect to the first portion and enables the tight embrace of the head when the head is in the electrical engagement with the conductive material of the first main face. The elongate member includes a latch means to tie or strap the head onto the second main face of the electrode.
