Assignee:
Covidien LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61N 1/04
US Classification:
607142
Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an automatic external defibrillator configured to deliver electrical pulses and/or shocks to a heart of a patient during a cardiac emergency is provided and includes a housing supporting an electrical connector; a defibrillator electrode delivery system supported on the housing; and a pair of defibrillation electrode pads supported by the defibrillator electrode delivery system. Each of the pair of defibrillation electrode pads is pre-connected to the electrical connector of the housing. A hydrogel layer of each defibrillation electrode pad is retained by the defibrillator electrode delivery system in such a manner so as to reduce a moisture vapor transmission rate thereof.

Filed:
Jan 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/005636
Inventors:
Boyd Dunagan - Wabasha MN, US
Jay M. Dunagan - Wabasha MN, US
Erick Garstka - Westfield MA, US
Keith J. Geolat - Lake City MN, US

Assignee:
Covidien LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61B 5/04
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
600391, 600382, 600394, 607152
Abstract:
An electrode for selective attachment to at least one of a garment and a subject, is provided and includes a conductive member defining a first side and a second side; a conductive composition disposed on the first side of the conductive member, wherein the conductive composition has a first adhesive strength; a contact layer disposed on the second side of the conductive member, wherein the contact layer includes a pressure sensitive adhesive portion and a conductive hydrogel portion, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive portion has a second adhesive strength that is greater than the adhesive strength of the conductive composition; whereby the electrode is adherable to the garment and to the subject such that the conductive composition is adhered to the subject and the pressure sensitive adhesive portion is adhered to the garment, wherein removal of the garment from the subject results in removal of the electrode from the subject.
