Abstract: There is disclosed an ECG monitoring device for attachment to the skin of an individual, which device includes a plurality of electrodes for monitoring bio-skin potential disposed at suitable locations on a base or substrate. The device includes a first resilient sponge-like sheet, and a second resilient sponge-like sheet adhesively attached to the first sheet and having a plurality of openings formed therein. A number of electrodes are attached to the second sheet by an adhesive coating, with the connector elements of the respective electrodes in place in the openings and secured to lead wires for attachment to monitoring apparatus. The individual electrodes include an adhesive base surface that can be exposed upon removal of a cover structure which normally overlies a pre-gelled pad and said base surface. The adhesively coated base surfaces of the electrodes are used to affix the device to the patient.

Abstract: There is disclosed a novel electrode assembly or package for two or more electrode devices, and also a novel method of fabricating not only the overall assembly, but also the devices in conjunction therewith. The electrode assembly as contemplated by the disclosure includes a carrier member in generally strip form having one or more openings therein, the number of said openings depending upon and being equal to one-half of the number of electrode devices to be employed in said assembly. A medical electrode device is secured in overlying relation to each opening, on opposite sides of the carrier member, with the gel pads of each said electrode device being disposed within the periphery of the opening and in face-to-face contact with the pad of the opposed electrode device. The electrode devices may be pre-gelled, if desired. It is contemplated that the assembly may then be packaged in a suitable container, such as a plastic or foil envelope.
