  • Patent number: 8897853
    Abstract: A medical electrode demonstrates a superior adhesiveness to a patient's skin during medical data acquisition or treatment procedure yet attaining painless electrode removal from the skin when needed. The subject medical electrode is designed with adhesive neutralizer (or remover) solvent fully enveloped in one or several compartments embedded in an adhesive layer of the medical electrode unit. The compartments have a contact with the patient's skin when the electrode is attached thereto. When compressed by a medical personnel, the compartment releases the adhesive remover solvent directly to the skin-adhesive interface, thereby neutralizing (or removing) the adhesive material, thereby easing the electrode removal. The adhesive layer is made from PEO, sodium chloride, and water. The adhesive remover solvent contains isopropyl alcohol. A method of manufacturing the medical electrode is presented.
