ABSTRACT:
A dispersive electrode has been devised for electromedical equipment consisting of a thin sheet or layer of electrically conductive material covered on one or both sides by a flexible laminate. To facilitate attachment to the skin of a patient during electrosurgery, the laminated sheet may be secured to a resilient backing member preferably having bifurcated ends to which an adhesive is applied in order to effect a secure connection to various parts of the body and to more readily conform to the contour of different parts of the body. The pad includes a tab projecting from one end of the conductive layer which tab is preferably of rounded or somewhat circular configuration and adapted to be inserted into a snap-type connector. The connector is in turn characterized by being a normally open connector having male and female, opposed snap-type fasteners which are pressed together through an opening in the tab into snap-fitting engagement with one another to provide a firm but flexible means of electrical connection into the plate during an electrosurgical operation. In the alternative, the tab may project rearwardly through a slot in the ground pad for connection to the electrical connector either by conventional connectors or a snap-type connector as described.
