AXELGAARD PALS ROUND CLOTH 2.5CM ROUND PACK OF 4

PALS® electrodes revolutionized neurostimulation electrode performance with its patented stainless-steel knit fabric design. The PALS® design allows multiple applications while maintaining flexibility and maximizing conformity to any body surface.

Featuring a patented multi-layer MultiStick® hydrogel which  provides:

• Better patient comfort during stimulation
• Better skin adhesion
• Allows multiple applications while maintaining flexibility and maximizing conformity to any body surface.
• Evenly disperses current eliminating stinging, edge biting, and hot spots.
• Known for durability reusability, and value.
• Latex free
  

How many times can the electrodes be used?

Number of uses depends entirely on the proper application, storage and care by the user.

The durability of the electrodes depends on the adhesiveness of the gel and that depends on keeping the gel

• clean
• hydrated
• free from foreign debris

Application: 

Before each electrode application, skin must be cleaned with water and soap to remove any lotions, skin oils, make-up, and dead skin.

Any debris on the skin will be transferred to the gel of the electrode compromising the integrity of the gel's adhesiveness.

A clean surface is the most important factor in the number of applications for an electrode.

Removal

Always lift electrodes from the edge - not the leadwire.

Care

After use, if the electrode picks up small amounts of debris you may use a drop of water on your finger to gently rub the debris off the electrode.

They are designed for reuse by the same person provided there is proper care of the skin and the electrodes.
Risk of contamination increases with each application.
Every time an electrode is removed, it lifts off dirt and skin debris, which in turn becomes absorbed into the gel.
To maintain optimal hygiene change electrodes when they become contaminated in this fashion.

Most important to the care of the electrode is applying it to a clean surface with each use.

Storage 

After every use the electrode must be returned to the "ON" side of the Mylar liner and placed in the original, re-sealable package to prevent loss of moisture.

Electrodes should be stored at a temperature between 5°-27°C

Do not

• store in freezer/refrigerator
• Leave in extreme heat
• Submerge in water
• Leave outside of the package
• Use soap, alcohol or scrub with abrasive material
• Do not share your electrodes with anyone else, they are single patient use only
