An electrode plate for use in connection with a defibrillation electrode is described. The electrode plate comprises substantially coextending inter-connected first and second electrically conductive layers, said first layer comprising raised rim means defining an area within which a defibrillation electrode may be placed in electrically conductive contact with said first layer, said second layer being provided opposite to said rim means and comprising an adhesive for bringing said electrode plate into electrically conductive contact with a selected skin area, the overall extension of said electrode plate being such that when adhered to a selected skin area of a patient, a defibrillation electrode can be placed within the confines of said raised rim means without directly touching any skin portion. In this manner the desired contact is achieved without the use of messy creams or the like. In addition the advantage is obtained that the electrode plate maintains its conductive properties for a long time whereby it is possible to repeat the treatment very quickly, if necessary.

An electrode plate for use in connection with a defibrillation electrode, said electrode plate comprising substantially coextending inter-connected first and second electrically conductive layers, said first layer comprising raised rim means defining an area within which a defibrillation electrode may be placed in electrically conductive contact with said first layer during delivery of an electric shock and afterwards removed from electrically conductive contact with said first layer, said second layer being provided opposite to said rim means and comprising an adhesive for bringing said electrode plate into electrically conductive contact with a selected skin area, the overall extension of said electrode plate being such that when adhered to a selected skin area of a patient, a defibrillation electrode can be placed within the confines of said raised rim means without directly touching any skin portion.
