Scott Coggins - Palmer MA, US

Assignee:

Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA

International Classification:

A61N 1/05

US Classification:

607142, 607152, 607148

Abstract:

A medical electrode, and a method of making a medical electrode. The electrode comprises an electrode member having a top face and a bottom face; disconnected regions of electrically conductive material in electrical contact with the top face of the electrode member, patient contacting layer and an electrical connector in electrical contact with the disconnected regions. The disconnected regions reduce patient skin irritation and burning while optimizing electrical impedance of the electrode.

Appl. No.:

11/444926

Inventors:

Scott R. Coggins - Palmer MA, US

Assignee:

Tyco Healthcare Group LP - Mansfield MA

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600391, 600385, 600392

Abstract:

A medical electrode includes a backing layer having a top face and a bottom face, and a shrinkable layer covering at least a portion of the top face of the backing layer. Shrinkage of the shrinkable layer results in flexing of a portion of the backing layer to aid placement and attachment of the electrode to the patient.

International Classification:

A61B 5/0408

US Classification:

600382, 600386, 600390, 600393

Abstract:

A sensor array apparatus for monitoring medical signals includes a flexible substrate adapted for positioning relative to the torso of a patient. The flexible substrate includes a central segment defining a central axis and is adapted to generally conform to an area extending along the sternum of a patient. The flexible substrate further includes an upper segment extending traversal across the central segment and adapted to generally conform to the chest area of a patient and a lower segment extending traversal across the central segment and adapted to generally conform to the abdominal area of the patient. The apparatus further includes a medical electrode disposed on at least one of the segments and a connector in electrical communication with the medical electrode and adapted to connect to an electronic monitoring system.

International Classification:

A61N 1/04

US Classification:

607142, 607 5, 607 10, 607152, 206363, 206726, 206727, 206728

Abstract:

An electrode pad packaging system including an electrode pouch, an electrode pad (e. g. , a defibrillation electrode pad), a wire and a shell is disclosed. The electrode pad is disposed at least partially within the electrode pouch. The wire extends from the electrode pad and, in a disclosed embodiment, at least a portion of the wire is attached to the shell. The shell is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the electrode pouch (e. g. , the shell is secured to a portion of the electrode pouch). The shell includes a valve thereon that is configured to allow air to exit the electrode pouch. The valve may be configured to prevent air from entering the electrode pouch. A method of packaging an electrode pad is also disclosed. The method includes providing an electrode pouch, an electrode pad, a wire and a shell. A valve on the shell allows air to exit the electrode pouch.
