A multi-axis defibrillator electrode band includes a stretchable band having a first end and a second end; and at least one pair of defibrillation electrodes embedded in the stretchable band between the first end and the second end, wherein a first electrode in the electrode pair is disposed opposite a second electrode in the electrode pair to define a conduction channel from the first electrode to the second electrode when the band is in a usage position for a defibrillation event.
