Electrodes with silver conductive are conductive garments knitted from a continuous silver coated Nylon yarn into the form of gloves, socks, wrist sleeve, elbow Sleeve and knee sleeve. The conductivity is derived from the silver content of the Nylon yarn. The electrodes are available in free size. The elongation property of the nylon yarn provides some elasticity which ensures firm skin contact. The electrodes can be used dry or wet when in contact with the skin. The entire surface of each electrode is very conductive having a resistance of less than 2ohms per inch. This low resistance provides low current density with uniform current distribution.
A non-sterile electrical conductor intended to be attached to a patient's skin (noninvasive) to provide therapeutic electrical stimuli through the body surface [e.g., transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), electrical muscle stimulation, cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES)]. It is typically a flat, flexible, conductive pad with an adhesive (e.g., gel), or a preformed shape/mechanism designed for attachment to a particular body part (e.g., earclip), connected to a conductive wire. This is a single-patient device that may be reapplied to the patient over a short term (single-use) before being discarded.
