Gel Electrode Care and Safety 101

This applies to all electrotherapy devices

With industry-leading durability, Dynatronics electrotherapy units are built to withstand the wear and tear of busy practices. To help ensure optimal device functionality and patient safety with electrodes, share the CARE tips below with your customers!

1.         Choose the right electrodes - Never use monitoring or TENS electrodes with Dynatronics devices. Only use Dynatronics distributed electrodes.

2.         Apply electrodes properly - Thoroughly clean the skin prior to positioning electrodes and ensure adhesion across the entire electrode surface.

3.         Replace electrodes frequently - Self-adhesive electrodes have a MAXIMUM of 15 uses. Indicators to replace include: 1) Dry, non-adhering electrodes 2) Patient feels intermittent or no current 3) You get an error message

4.         Economize, but don’t compromise - To reuse electrodes, store in their original sealed pouch and replace when needed & be wary of cheap electrode brands.
