1. A disposable electrode assembly for establishing an electrical connection to an underlying skin surface comprising, in combination:

  • a relatively flexible base member formed of electrically-insulating material having an outside surface and an inside surface;

    contact means on said base member for establishing electrical contact with said underlying skin surface, said contact means including a first contact portion on said outside surface and a second contact portion in electrical communication with said first contact portion on said inside surface;

    a cover member having an inside surface substantially coextensive with said inside surface of said base member, said cover member being, overall, substantially less flexible than the major extent of said base member and including a thumb recess along its margin at the inside surface to facilitate peeling said base member away therefrom; and

    an adhesive layer on the inside surface of said base member holding said inside surface of said cover member against said inside surface of said base member so as to increase the rigidity of said electrode assembly during storage, said base member being peelable away from said cover member to enable said adhesive layer to be placed in contact with the underlying skin surface to hold said second contact portion in contact with the skin surface while the electrode assembly is in use.
