Abstract: A cable for electromedical application and especially for recording the ECG of patients of different body shapes and body sizes is provided including a textile composite (1) formed of a carrier layer (2) and a cover layer (3). At least one electric line (4) is accommodated between the carrier layer (2) and the cover layer (3). After manufacture in a cost-effective manner, the cable offers sufficient protection against short circuits in case of penetration of moisture, on the one hand, and adapts to curved and irregularly shaped structures without problems, on the other hand. The cable textile composite (1) is flexibly deformable without destruction, wherein at least one electric line (4) is electrically insulated by an insulation (5) against the carrier layer (2) and the cover layer (3).
