A cardioversion/defibrillation electrode comprising an insulative element which supports one or more planar conductive elements. The conductive elements are spaced apart from each other by a "conductor-free" region, which serves as a spring loaded hinge about which the electrode may preferentially bend....http://www.google.com/patents/US5391200?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5391200 - Defibrillation patch electrode having conductor-free resilient zone for minimally invasive deployment
