Flexible therapy electrode system
First Claim
1. A therapy electrode system comprising:
- a substrate including a first segment and a second segment, the first segment of the substrate configured to move at least partially independently from the second segment of the substrate;
a therapy electrode formed on the first segment; and
one of a slot or a gap passing through the substrate and extending from a central region of the substrate to an edge of the substrate distal from the central to region, the one of the slot or the gap physically separating at least a portion of the first segment of the substrate from the second segment of the substrate.

Abstract
An electrode assembly includes a first surface to be placed adjacent a person'"'"'s skin and a second surface including a plurality of reservoirs of conductive gel. The plurality of reservoirs of conductive gel are disposed on sections of the electrode assembly that are at least partially physically separated and may move at least partially independently of one another to conform to contours of a body of a patient. The electrode assembly is configured to dispense an amount of the electrically conductive gel onto the first surface in response to an activation signal and to provide for a defibrillating shock to be applied to the patient through the amount of the electrically conductive gel.
