Electrode

• Purpose: Designed to conduct electrical signals between the body and medical devices, such as ECG (electrocardiogram) machines, EEG (electroencephalogram) devices, and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units.
• Function: The electrode attaches to the skin and helps transmit electrical impulses or signals to and from the device, allowing for accurate measurement or stimulation of electrical activity in the body.
• Benefits:
  • Provides precise and reliable conduction of electrical signals.
  • Facilitates accurate monitoring and diagnosis of electrical activity in the heart, brain, or muscles.
  • Ensures effective electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
  • Designed for easy application and removal, often featuring an adhesive backing for secure placement.
• Formulation: Typically composed of conductive materials such as carbon or metal and covered with a gel or adhesive layer to ensure good contact with the skin.

Instructions for Use:

1. Clean and dry the skin where the electrode will be placed to ensure proper adhesion and conduction.
2. Peel off the protective backing from the electrode.
3. Apply the electrode to the desired area, pressing firmly to ensure good contact.
4. Connect the electrode to the appropriate lead or wire of the medical device.
5. Follow device-specific instructions for operation and monitoring.

Safety Tips:

• Ensure that the electrode and skin are clean and dry to maintain effective conductivity.
• Avoid using electrodes on broken or irritated skin.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper application and removal to prevent skin irritation.
• Replace electrodes as recommended to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
