ABSTRACT:
A clasp for a biomedical electrode includes opposed cooperating jaw members. The jaw members can be end portions of a U-shaped leaf spring. A lever is pivotally mounted for engagement with the jaws for forcing the jaws together to grip an electrode placed between them. An opening is provided within the clasp for receiving the stud of a different style electrode and an electrical contact is provided for establishing an electrical connection with the stud. Longitudinally distributed lug secure upper and lower portions of the clasp together. A telescoping connector at the free end of a lead wire removably secures the lead wire to the clasp and is rotated after insertion to lock the lead wire in place. An electrically conductive, optionally non-metallic, x-ray transparent plastic contact is described for establishing an electrical connection between a biomedical electrode and the lead wire.
