 Conductive
Rubber These are the most commonly available electrodes, and are the lowest cost method used to apply TENS therapy. An electrically conductive gel needs to be applied to the face of these electrodes, which makes them slippery and prone to move on the body. Ways to stop electrodes from moving are to use adhesive tape, bandage-wraps, sweat-bands and adhesive conductive gel.  Pre-Gelled
(Self-Adhesive) Electrodes These are the electrodes of choice for pain management. They are cloth backed with self-adhering gel to enable easy application, comfort and the freedom of movement required for extended home and mobile use. They do not slip from the optimized stimulation region whilst mobile or sleeping. Conductive Cloth Electrodes These are just coming on the market. They provide the convenience of being arrayed within clothing. Precise location, larger than normal size and secure fixation of the electrodes is automatically achieved. This is a method of easily applying many sets of electrodes for multiple region stimulation. |
