Biomedical electrode device
First Claim
1. A biomedical electrode device comprising an electrically insulating substrate, a first electrode on the substrate, the first electrode having thereon a non-tacky moisture-activated electrically conductive bioadhesive layer which has a water content of less than 25% w/w and which is activated without pre-moistening when offered to moist fetal skin to adhere to such skin with an adhesion of between 50 and 500 g/cm2, and a further electrode on the substrate at a position to serve as a nonskin contacting reference electrode, the substrate further having first and further electrically conductive leads thereon respectively connected to the first and further electrodes.
