a method for fabricating an integral disposal electrode for establishing a low impedance electrical connection to a patient &# 39 ; s skin . a web of flexible electrically nonconductive adhesive tape , a web of flexible electrically conductive sheet material , a web of flexible biocompatible electrically conductive adhesive polymer material , and a web of nonadhesive protective material are provided and laminated together to form a composite web . the web of adhesive polymer material has a width at least essentially equal to a width of the conductive sheet material web , and less than a width of the nonconductive adhesive tape web . electrical terminals are attached to the web of conductive sheet material at spaced longitudinal locations . individual electrodes are formed by severing the laminated composite web in a transverse direction at positions between adjacent spaced electrical terminals .
