A medical electrode for taking an EKG or the like made of a bi-stable conductive spring material in the form of an elongated flat member which can assume a stable linear state and can be easily applied and attached to a patient's arm or leg by lightly striking it against the arm or leg is disclosed. Upon striking, the elongated member springs to its other stable stage, coiling around the arm and leg and making contact therewith. An electrical connector such as a contact gripping slit or snap fastener (or both), are provided on the member for connecting the electrode to a conventional EKG or like leads.
