7. A conductive pad, comprising:
a topcoat layer;
an electrode element connected to the topcoat layer, and configured to receive an electrical signal from a generator producing the electrical signal as a TTField; and
a conductive gel element electrically coupled to the electrode element so as to receive an electrical current from the electrode element, the conductive gel element configured to be in contact with a patient's skin, the conductive gel element including a conductive gel layer and a shaping member, the shaping member positioned within the conductive gel layer and having a first side and a second side, wherein the conductive gel layer includes a plurality of protrusions and one or more air channel on the second side of the shaping member.
