ABSTRACT:
A new composition of matter formed between natural rubber and aqueous polyethylene oxide gels, and an improved electrode for use in electrotherapy, electrosurgery or current monitoring. Said electrode comprises a layer of a conductive form of said aqueous gel, a current distribution means, an an insulator of said natural rubber. Due to said new composition of matter the natural rubber insulator layer of said electrode bonds directly to the aqueous conductive gel layer. The electrode remains bonded without drying at its outside edges. This new composition of matter provides sufficient adhesion to maintain the elements of an electrotherpy or monitoring electrode in place during medical procedures. The incorporation of an aqueous gel alleviates the need to employ a non-aqueous gel (which lacks the property of even current distribution) or a conducting lattice to perform the functions of current distribution and form retention.
