Abstract

The invention relates to a garment, adapted to be used as a medical electrode. The garment comprises a tubular body, which comprises at least two different zones. One of these zones is an electrically conductive zone (11), to be used as the electrode surface of the medical electrode. Another zone is an elastic zone (10), which comprises electrically non-conductive yarns. This elastic zone assures the position of the electrically conductive zone on the corpus on which the medical electrode is to be used.
