  • Medical instrument including electrodes adapted for right and left-handed use
    Patent number: 4681112
    Abstract: A medical instrument such as a defibrillator that includes first and second hand-held electrodes for applying an electric shock to a patient, wherein the two electrodes are respectively adapted for right and left-handed use. Each electrode comprises an elongated member (62) adapted for gripping by the fingers of an operator's hand, an actuator (26) positioned adjacent one end of the elongated member, and blocking means (52) positioned adjacent one side of the elongated member. The blocking means is adapted to hinder an operator from gripping the elongated member with one of the operator's hands while simultaneously positioning the thumb of that hand adjacent the actuator. The electrode is therefore adapted for either left-handed or right-handed use. The blocking means may comprise one sidewall (52) of a cup-shaped depression (50), and the elongated member may comprise a handle (62) spanning the cup-shaped depression in a direction parallel to the sidewall.
