Zusammenfassung:A patch electrode for use with defibrillators is provided. The patch electrode comprises a soft, flexible patch of polymeric material and bonded to it, a smaller patch of polymeric material that has been metal-plated. A lead wire is attached to the patch by a polymeric boot. A defibrillator system is also provided wherein two electrodes and lead wires are attached to a generator typically used for cardioventing and defibrillization. The invention is particularly useful for cardiac muscle stimulation but can also be used for muscle stimulation.
