1. A device for laminating to a re-useable medical-use electrode a conductive gel-pad from a series of gel-pads having at least one first protective liner, the device comprising:

  • a delivery mechanism including at least one take-up roller that is operable to reel in the liner and deliver the gel-pad to a ready position adjacent the electrode;

    an applicator mechanism including a carriage and a pressure roller, wherein the carriage supports the electrode and the pressure roller applies a compressive force to the electrode to laminate the gel-pad thereto, wherein the carriage moves between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein in the extended position the electrode can be loaded thereonto and in the retracted position the electrode is in the ready position within the laminating device; and

    a drive mechanism including at least one actuator operably coupled to the delivery mechanism and the applicator mechanism to drive the take-up roller and the pressure roller.
