ABSTRACT:
A disposable wound treatment electrode is disclosed that is usable in combination with a releasable connector for enabling effective delivery of an electrical signal to a patient. The electrode and connector are configured so that the connector provides a readily accessible tool to facilitate disposal of the electrode after use, and a method of utilization for effecting this end is also disclosed. The electrode includes an electrically non-conductive cover sheet, an electrically conductive and preferably non-metallic disperser formed at least in part by carbon and having a portion, preferably integral with the remainder of the disperser, that extends through an aperture in the interior portion of the cover sheet, and a non-adhering wound contact sheet. In addition, protectors are provided for an integral portion of the disperser extending through the cover sheet, a retainer is provided to receive an electrically conductive skin moisturizer, and/or the peripheries of the cover sheet and the wound contact sheet are sealed together to form a closed envelope.
