ABSTRACT:
An improved electrode assembly for use in providing a stimulating current to a living body is disclosed. The assembly comprises a plurality of electrode modules electrically connected together in series with flexible electrical conductors, preferably in the form of a wire, so that, the modules and conductors form an integral assembly and so that in accordance with the method of the present invention the modules each can be selectively oriented and positioned on the skin with respect to one another enabling the assembly to follow the direction of an incision. In the preferred form the modules of the assembly are initially mechanically connected together with a single sheet having perforations so that the sheet can be torn along the perforations when separating the modules from one another. The number of modules applied to the skin can easily be reduced from the plurality by disconnecting the wire at the appropriate location so as to reduce the number of modules to the desired number.
