An adhesive pad that contains conductive gel and is designed to be attached to the patient's skin is called an electrode. This is a common medical device used in ECG, EEG, EMG, and other types of biopotential measurements. A stimulator is a device that produces an electrical, magnetic or other type of energy to stimulate nerves or tissues. A strip and a lead are more general terms that can refer to different types of medical equipment or devices, but not specifically to an adhesive pad with conductive gel.
