Electrocardiographic electrode, reusable (A noninvasive electrical conductor designed to conduct electrical signals, generated by a patient's heart, from the skin surface to an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring device, via an ECG lead wire (not included). It is typically a disk-like electrode that is affixed to the skin with a special adhesive, or adhesive tape, and a conductive gel (some are pre-gelled), or using a suction mechanism; alternatively, some types may be designed to be attached to hand-held heart rate meters. Electrocardiography (ECG) is usually performed using a set of electrodes (e.g., 12) connected to appropriate leads and cables. This is a reusable device.)
