An improved carrier release sheet is described for use with biopotential skin electrodes of the type including a stud, a pad preloaded with an electrically conductive material and in electrical contact with the stud, a base sheet having an aperture and secured to said stud so that the pad is exposed through the aperture to one side of the base sheet having an adhesive coating. The carrier release sheet includes a cylindrical cavity of an improved configuration for receiving the preloaded pad of the electrode in a noncontacting relationship and a tab integrally formed with the remainder of the carrier release sheet so as to enable quick and easy release of the carrier sheet from the adhesive coating.

In combination with a biopotential skin electrode of the type Including a stud, a reservoir of electrically-conductive material in electrical contact with said stud, a base sheet secured to said stud so that said reservoir is exposed to one side of said base sheet, and an adhesive coating disposed on said one side of said base sheet, an improved carrier release sheet supporting said electrode, said carrier release sheet comprising: a unitary, water impervious, substantially self-supporting sheet (1) having a slit formed across a portion of said self-supporting sheet so as to form a tab and (2) dimensioned so as to completely cover said one side of said base sheet including said adhesive coating and having a portion of said tab extending beyond the peripheral edge of said base sheet with said tab covering a smaller portion of said adhesive coating than the remaining portion of said self-supporting sheet covers so that said self-supporting sheet seals said electrically-conductive material in said reservoir from the surrounding air and so that said self-supporting sheet is easily removable from said adhesive coating by pulling said tab relative to said adhesive coating.
