A method of making an electrosurgical patient electrode includes the steps of initially providing an electrode body having a recess defined therein with an electrically conductive bottom surface, and then casting a quantity of uncured hydrogel material into the recess. The gel material is sufficient in volume to fill the recess and is subsequently cured in situ.

A method of making an electrosurgical patient electrode, comprising the steps of: providing a flexible support layer of electrically non-conductive material, mounting a layer of flexible, electrically conductive material on said support layer to produce a flexible backing layer having an electrically conductive surface on one side thereof, mounting a flexible, apertured layer of electrically non-conductive material on said one side of said flexible backing layer, said apertured layer defining an aperture through which at least a portion of said electrically conductive surface is exposed, said backing layer and said apertured layer thereby defining a recess having an electrically conductive bottom surface, pouring a quantity of uncured, substantially fluid, electrically conductive, hydrogel material into said recess so as to fill said recess, and curing said gel material.
