Description

PRECORDIAL CABLE APPARATUS
The present invention relates to cables and electrodes for electrocardiographic examination and the means of conveying electrical signals from an array of electrodes.
BACKGROUND
The prior art teaches numerous forms of electrode and electrode connecting cables for the conveyance of electrical signals from an electrode array to an electrocardiograph (ECG) . A common form of connecting the electrodes to an ECG is by means of an array of separate cables either leading directly to input sockets on the ECG machine or to a common multi-pin connector from which a single multi-core lead connects the cable array to the ECG.
A number of systems have sought to simplify both the electrode array and the means of electrical connection to the ECG or intermediate connecting plug. For example the electrodes may be embedded as a pattern in a strip or sheet with the conductive wires also embedded. Again the cable bundle may be joined in some manner for intermediate sections along its length to avoid tangling.
In particular we may refer to US4,328,814 which teaches a series of six electrodes linked together by flexible strips of material. A bundle of six conductive cables is provided, each cable being provided with a releasable connector at a first end and being connected to a common connector at a second end. Cables have lengths sequentially reaching successive electrodes in the strip. It will be apparent that the electrode and strips assembly of US4,328,814 is dedicated to the system described and is of limited flexural movement. It will also be noted that the inter-electrode spacing cannot be varied to suit significant differences in the size of patient torsos. We also refer to ϋS5,546,950 which teaches an electrode cable connection means in which the individual cables are joined together to form a flat strip for that portions of their lengths lying between a common connector and their intended electrode connection. At the point of departure from the common strip, each cable is provided with a short separate section leading to an electrode connector. The combining of cables into a flat strip reduces the flexibility of the cable and limits the degree of freedom of electrode positioning. It is an object of the present invention to address or ameliorate at least one of the above disadvantages or to provide a useful alternative. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
