ABSTRACT:
A medical snap electrode having a conductive tape portion disposed between the cover material and conduction layer of the electrode. The conductive tape portion becomes part of an electrical connection from a top snap, positioned above the cover material, to the conductive tape then to the conductive layer. The conductive tape includes conductive adhesive on at least one of its surfaces and thereby provides a more robust electrical connection from a top snap to a conductive layer in the electrode and ultimately to a subject's skin. Viewing of the snap through the conductive film layer is prevented. The conductive tape thus provides an improved conduction path for distributing electrical current from the top snap to a subject's skin in addition to the conduction path through bottom snap. The improved conduction path can prevent heating or apprehension of potential heating by a subject or clinician.
