A BIO-MEDICAL ELECTRODE
First Claim
1. A bio-medical electrode comprising:
- a) a flat top part having an aperture;
b) a bottom part having;
a flexible flange having an upward inclination;
an upward projecting head portion that can be fixed in the aperture, the upward projecting head disposed on the flexible flange;
a flange disposed at the transition between the head portion and flexible flange; and
c) an electrode material;
wherein, the flange is arranged to provide a stop for creating a pre-defined deflection of the flexible flange when the flat top part along with the electrode material is pressed against the flexible flange.

Abstract
The invention relates to a bio-medical electrode (100). In a preferred embodiment, an electrode interface comprises a top part (10) with an aperture and a bottom part (20). The bottom part (20) has a head portion designed for a fixation in said aperture and a flexible flange that clamps electrode sheets (31,32) in the connected state of the electrode interface such that the contact force between top and bottom parts is approximately constant during lifetime of the electrode interface. The top part (10) may preferably have the shape of a disk of magnetic or magnetizable material. The bottom part (20) may preferably be made from a conductive plastic such as ABS. The electrode interface may particularly be used in a TENS device.
