ABSTRACT:
An article of manufacture for a biomedical electrode and indicator with a nonconductive polymer backing material; the backing material to adhere, coat or attach the indicator and conductors, a pair of thin flexible conductors such as tin, silver or other such conductive medium. The conductors are made of dissimilar materials; an adhesive electrolyte substrate composing karaya, ionic polymer, electrode gel, or other like medium, said electrolyte is positioned between each conductor and conforms to the skin. The backing material provides an area of isolation between the paired conductors, and electrolyte. A thin flexible indicator affixed to the top of the backing material, said indicator having an conductive pattern for contact to each conductor. A path is created by the conductors, electrolyte and the body. The path is completed when the body comes in contact to the electrolyte, a potential created by two dissimilar conductors and an electrolyte provides the potential to the indicator. This disclosure also contemplates novel orientation of the conductors and electrolyte.
