1. An electrode strip for placement on a body, comprising:
- a substantially inextendible substrate having first and second surfaces, a plurality of electrode sites on the first surface of the substrate, and a region of extensibility defined in the substrate between a pair of adjacent electrode sites to allow selective positioning of the adjacent electrode sites on the body; and
a plurality of spaced-apart conductive leads that extend along the first surface of the substrate to a different one of the electrode sites.

Abstract
Disclosed is an electrode strip (10) for use in electrocardiography comprising a flexible and substantially inextendible substrate (14), a plurality of conductive leads (16) and an insulating cover layer (17) including a plurality of apertures (24) therethrough. The conductive leads extend from a connector (22) to different ones of the apertures to form electrode sites (26). A plurality of regions of extensibility (30) in the strip allow selective positioning of the apertures on a body.
