Abstract: The present application relates to an electrode pad comprising at least one electrode with an electrode terminal. A contact member such as a hydrogel is disposed on said electrode terminal and covered by a retainer mesh. The electrode terminal may be, for example, a silver electrode disposed on a flexible foil, and the contact member may be disposed in the aperture of a backing layer. The retainer mesh is designed to allow for an electrical contact of the contact member to an object such as the body of a person while at the same time mechanically retaining the contact member. Moreover, the electrode pad may comprise an array of several electrodes disposed on a carrier, said carrier having a slit separating at least two neighboring electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrode pad comprising at least one electrode (E) with an electrode terminal (120). A contact member (140) such as a hydrogel is disposed on said electrode terminal (120) and covered by a retainer mesh (150). In a preferred embodiment, the electrode terminal may for example be a silver electrode (120) disposed on a flexible foil (10), and the contact member (140) may be disposed in the aperture (131) of a backing layer (130). The retainer mesh (150) is designed to allow for an electrical contact of the contact member (140) to an object such as the body of a person while at the same time mechanically retaining the contact member (140). Moreover, the electrode pad may comprise an array of several electrodes (E) disposed on a carrier (110), said carrier having a slit separating at least two neighboring electrodes.
