Abstract
An integral medical electrode for monitoring and diagnostic applications which includes a fusible conductive substrate to which are fused the other components, such as the conductor, of the electrode. The fusible conductive substrate includes a non-conductive carrier providing a support layer; a conductive additive; and a sealant functioning as a fusible bonding medium to integrate the non-conductive carrier, the conductive additive, and the other components of the electrode.
