ABSTRACT:
A transcutaneous medical electrode includes a flexible moderately conductive sheet and a conductive adhesive disposed on one side of the flexible sheet for electrically coupling the flexible sheet to a user's body. A highly conductive grid disposed on another side of the flexible sheet provides an electrical current distribution through the flexible sheet and connective adhesive and into the user's body. The conductive grid includes at least one array of conductive ink lines. Electrical conduction is established with the conductive grid through the use of a second array of conductive ink lines disposed on a flexible non-conductive sheet. An adhesive enables positioning of the flexible non-conductive sheet onto the conductive grid with the conductive ink lines on the flexible non-connective sheet crossing and electrically contacting the conductive grid conductive ink lines in order to modify the current distribution provided by the conductive grid.
