Self-adhesive electrodes
Self-adhesive electrode consists of a cotton pad and coating with a conductive gel. The gel allows to use 100% of the area of the electrode, while providing uniform density of the current across the electrode.
Pre-gelled TENS pads and wires with the jacks:
– provide even, comfortable stimulation eliminating uncomfortable spiked current provided by typical electrodes;
– incorporate a highly conductive silver ink that controls the flow of electrical current over the entire surface of the electrode (Better current flow results in more comfortable stimulation);
– provide superior adherence to the skin and comfortable treatments over multiple uses.
A tinted, double-coated storage liner allows electrodes to be applied on either side for storage.
To prolong the life, the electrodes should be stored in a tight package, may be refrigerated to maintain the adhesiveness of the gel.
The electrodes are used for the individual long-term therapy of pain syndromes.
