1. A medical electrode comprising:
- a conductive flexible member having a top side and a bottom side;
a connector in contact with the conductive flexible member for establishing electrical contact with an external apparatus;
a non-conductive flexible sheet disposed over the conductive flexible member top side, said non-conductive flexible sheet having dimensions greater than said conductive flexible member causing an overlap thereof by a sheet perimeter;
a central adhesive for bonding said non-conductive flexible sheet to the top side of said conductive flexible member and securing said connector to said conductive flexible member top side;
a perimeter adhesive disposed about said central adhesive, on the sheet perimeter and enabling sealing of the electrode to a user'"'"'s skin; and
a conductive adhesive, disposed on the conductive flexible member bottom side in a spaced apart relationship with said perimeter adhesive, for adhering the electrode to the patient'"'"'s skin.
