Abstract
Disclosed is an electrode strip (100) for use in electrocardiography comprising a flexible and substantially inextendible substrate (104), a plurality of conductors (114) that extend along the substrate to form a plurality of electrode sites (V1 -V6, RA, LA, LL, RL), and a cover layer(122) that insulates the conductors. A plurality of regions of extensibility (102) in the strip allow selective positioning of the electrode sites on a body.
