ECG Electrodes

Every year, millions of individuals undergo electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) tests to evaluate their heart's electrical activity. These tests play a crucial role in monitoring heart health, diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, and detecting irregularities. ECG procedures are non-invasive and can be performed while the patient is resting or engaging in physical activity. The process involves using ECG electrodes available in various shapes, sizes, and adhesive types, tailored to meet diverse clinical requirements.

The backing materials of ECG electrodes are specifically chosen based on their intended use. Some electrodes are optimized for exercise, designed to stretch and handle perspiration effectively, while newer models feature non-porous backings that ensure comfort during prolonged wear without causing skin irritation. A popular choice among healthcare providers is the squeeze clip connector, which secures the electrode without applying excessive pressure on the patient. When stored correctly, certain electrodes can maintain their efficacy for up to 60 days.

Common ECG monitoring configurations include 3-Lead, 5-Lead, and 12-Lead setups, each serving distinct monitoring objectives. Typically, an ECG machine consists of 10 wires connected to specific locations on the body, including both chest and limb leads.
