Abstract: A quick-connecting dual electrode assembly for use in procedures such as impedance cardiography includes a body having a cable side and a patient side, and three eyelets arranged therein. A distal snap assembly having a distal stud (108) is secured in a first eyelet (101a) of said three eyelets (101a, 102a, 105a) near an end of the body. An additional stud (105) is arranged in a second eyelet (105a) near a center of the body, wherein the distal stud (108) and the additional stud (105) are electrically joined by a jumper assembly. A proximal snap assembly having a proximal stud (106) secured in a third eyelet (102a) at an opposite end from where the distal stud (108) is arranged proximally to the additional stud (105), so that a distance between the proximal stud (106) and the additional stud (105) is substantially less than a distance between the distal stud (180) and the additional stud (105).

Abstract: A double electrode connector for connecting to medical electrodes preferably in an impedance cardiography system includes a connector housing comprising a base having two holes therein of predetermined diameters arranged at predetermined location in the housing, with a first of the two holes associated with a first connector and a second of the two holes associated with a second connector of the double-electrode connector; a pair of biasing elements arranged along a surface of the housing so that each one of the pair of biasing elements is adapted for biasing against an electrode stud inserted in a respective hole of the two holes in the housing; a cable assembly including a twin wire cable and a bend relief, wherein each one of the pair of metal lugs is connected to one of the first connector and second connector, and the bend relief is arranged in a hole in the base to flexibly connect the twin wire cable to respective metal lugs of the pair of metal lugs.
