The eyelet of a snap fastener conductor extends both through an adhesively coated supporting sheet and a gel pad whereupon a flange on the eyelet cooperates with the gel pad to form a cuplike cavity in which electrolyte gel is placed. The supporting sheet is formed from a substantially moisture and water vapor impervious material and cooperates with a cover that is also substantially moisture and water vapor impervious having a cavity receiving the gel pad to prevent gel dry out.

A medical electrode of the type adapted to be adhered to the skin comprising: a flexible supporting sheet coated with adhesive on one side for adhesion to the skin of a patient and comprising a material which is substantially impervious to moisture and water vapor; an electrically conducting connector abutting said sheet on the side thereof opposite said one side for connection to external equipment; a gel pad engaging said adhesively coated surface of said sheet comprising a foam sponge having its outer margins spaced inwardly from the outer margins of said adhesively coated surface of said sheet; an electrolyte engaging conductor engaged with said gel pad having a first portion having one surface facing the same direction as said adhesively coated surface and an opposite surface facing toward said adhesively coated surface, having a second portion integral with the first portion extending through said gel pad and through said sheet into engagement with said connector, a portion of said gel pad being squeezed between said first portion of said conductor and said adhesively coated surface, the outer margin of said first portion being spaced inwardly from the outer margin of said gel pad so that only a portion of said gel pad is squeezed between said first portion and said adhesively coated surface, the portions of said gel pad surrounding said first portion of said conductor projecting substantially further from said adhesively coated surface than said first portion of said conductor and forming with said first portion of said conductor a cup-like cavity; and an electrolyte gel within said cavity and at least partially filling said gel pad.
