The invention relates to a method for producing medical electrodes, in particular, neutral electrodes. According to the inventive method, a web-shaped laminate, consisting of a non-conductive intermediate support (C) and a conductive layer (A) is coated on the side of said conductive layer with an electrically conductive, adhesive gel (E). The laminate-gel combination is formed to a specific contour, preferably punched out, before being fixed to a carrier (H) by the side opposite to the gel (E). The conductive layer is applied to the web-shaped intermediate support (C) during the production of the laminate, preferably having been previously punched out, as panels which do not cover the entire web-shaped intermediate support (C). The contour forming of the laminate-gel combination, which takes place preferably in a punching-out process is performed in such a way that the gel (E) protrudes over the outer edges of the conductive layer panels which have been pre-formed in the laminate, at least in some areas and preferably on all sides.
