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.
