ABSTRACT:
A defibrillator electrode system. In the preferred embodiments, each electrode and the conductor leading to the instrument (such as the defibrillator or ECG monitor) is mounted on the same flexible substrate. In one two-electrode system embodiment, each electrode-conductor pair is mounted on a separate flexible substrate, and the two substrates are mounted in a retainer. In another preferred two-electrode system embodiment, the two electrode-conductor pairs are mounted on the same flexible substrate. In both embodiments, the retainer attaches to the instrument and provides the electrical connection between the conductors and the instrument. Conductive gel covers the electrodes in the preferred embodiments, and an adhesive surrounds the electrodes. The flexible substrate is provided with a release coating in appropriate spots. In their undeployed storage positions, the electrodes' conductive gel portions and adhesive portions lie against the release coating. During deployment, the conductive gel and adhesive peel away from the release coating. This arrangement minimizes the number of steps required in deploying defibrillator electrodes and preserves the integrity of the electrodes during storage.
