Bio-medical electrode conductive gel pads
First Claim
1. An electrically conductive pad conformable to the surface of the human body and adapted to facilitate the transfer of electrical signals between the body and an electrode, comprising a porous, fibrous carrier having a lightly adherent, conductive hydrogel carried thereby, said hydrogel impregnating and surfacing both sides of said carrier and said hydrogel being more cohesive to said hydrogel than adhesive to the surface of the human body to enable residue-free removal from the skin.

Abstract
A gel pad has impregnated in a porous matrix or held within a cavity, an electrically conductive hydrogel capable of transferring electrical signals between the human body and an electrode of an electrical sensing device when the hydrogel is in contact with the body surface. The hydrogel is lightly adherent to the body surface but sufficiently cohesive so that no residue remains when the pad is removed therefrom.

8. An electrically conductive pad conformable to the surface of the human body and adapted to facilitate the transfer of electrical signals between said body and an electrode, comprising a thin layer of a reinforced, lightly adherent, conductive hydrogel reinforced with from about 0.5 to 10% by weight of a fibrous material, said hydrogel being available for contact with the skin on at least two sides, said hydrogel being more cohesive to said hydrogel than adhesive to the surface of the human body to enable residue-free removal from the skin.
