ABSTRACT:
A defibrillator patch lead having a connecting element interconnecting an electrical conductor and a wire mesh electrode pad. The connecting element includes a body portion which has a slot cut therein into which a portion of the wire mesh electrode is inserted and securely bonded, preferably by laser welding. The connecting element further includes a female connector portion which is designed to mate with a male core sleeve. The core sleeve includes a channel for receiving a first conductor therein, which is then electrically and mechanically connected (e.g., by either welding or crimping). The core sleeve also includes an orifice for receiving a second conductor, which is subsequently electrically and mechanically connected (e.g., by either welding or crimping) between the core sleeve and the connecting element. Advantageously, the combination of the core sleeve, two conductors, and the connecting element have superior pull strength over conventional methods of attachment. Furthermore, the use of two conductors provides additional redundancy in the event one conductor fails.
