Patent Images
1. An ECG strip, comprising:
- six electrode assemblies, each electrode assembly comprising a circular one-piece foam pad housing with an upper surface and a flat, uniplanar base or skin contacting surface, means defining a cylindrical recess centrally within but only partially through said foam pad, said recess opening onto said skin contacting surface, a conductive gel filling said recess, and an electrode at the upper end of said recess, and having a portion extending upwardly through and protruding from said foam pad upper surface;
means flexibly interconnecting said six electrode assemblies together in a row comprising five separate individual, relatively thin strips of flexible material having a width substantially less than the width of each housing, each strip interconnecting adjacent electrode assemblies together; and
a bundle of six conductive leads extending along the six electrode assemblies in a row and having respective first ends releasably connected to the six electrode assembly protruding electrode portions, respectively, and having second ends attached to a plug connector adjacent one end of the ECG strip.
