Abstract: A biomedical electrode comprises a connector stud (1) anchored in a patch of adhesive-coated backing material (7) which is used to secure the electrode to the skin of a patient. The connector stud (1), which is located in a pierced opening in the backing material (7), has a head portion (2) to which an electrical lead of an electromedical monitoring/diagnostic system can be attached, and an electrode plate (3) which, when the biomedical electrode is in use, is placed in electrical communication with the skin of the patient. A strip of ionically-conductive adhesive (9) extends across the backing material and over the electrode plate (3) and a strip of scrim material (17) is located adjacent the adhesive coating on the backing material, underneath the adhesive strip (9). The two strips (9, 17) are displaced, relative to the electrode plate (3), towards a tab (13) which is used for removing the electrode from the skin of the patient.
