Method and apparatus for packaging an electrode

An apparatus ( 10 ) for packaging a medical electrode ( 12 ) having an electrode wireset ( 14 ) is for use with a heat-sealable flexible material ( 32 ). The apparatus includes a housing ( 20 ), and the housing includes a first housing side ( 18 ) at least in part defining an electrode connection region ( 28 ) sized to receive the medical electrode, and a second housing side ( 19 ) opposed to the first housing side. The second housing side at least in part defines a medical device connection region ( 29 ), sized to receive at least a part of a medical device ( 211 ) that utilizes the medical electrode. A sealing surface ( 22 ) having an attachment area ( 23 ) is adapted for attachment to the heat-sealable flexible material. A signal conductor ( 27 ) having a first end and a second end is also included in the apparatus. The signal conductor is operable to provide a signal path traversing the heat-sealable flexible material.
