1. A biomedical electrode for use on a limb of a patient comprising, a composite electrode pad having upper and lower sides, the composite electrode pad including an electrically conductive member having means for connection to an external apparatus, and a layer of electrically conductive solid gel adhesive electrically contacting the conductive member and providing a skin contacting adhesive surface at the lower side of the electrode pad, a limb band including an elongated conformable first band of non-woven spunlaced fabric having inner and outer sides, the first band including first and second end portions and an elongated intermediate portion and a length sufficient to encircle a limb of a patient and have the second end portion overlap the first end portion, adhesive means securing the inner side of the first end portion of the first band to the upper side of the electrode pad, an elongated dimensionally stable second band of non-woven spunbonded fabric, adhesive means securing one side of the second band to the inner side of the first band along the intermediate portion of the latter to inhibit stretching of the intermediate portion of the first band during use, and pressure sensitive adhesive means on the inner side of the second end portion of the first band for attaching the second end portion to the outer side of the first band adjacent the first end portion.
