Six Misunderstandings in the Use of Electrode Sheets

The treatment electrode sheet is made of non-toxic and harmless silicon rubber material or non-woven material. The electrode sheet has a certain degree of flexibility, and can be more compliantly contact with the human skin; in order to ensure the current path, the electrode sheet has a black conductive layer on one side. During treatment, the black side of the electrode sheet must be facing the skin so that the output current of the treatment device can reach the skin smoothly to achieve the treatment effect.

There are some misunderstandings in the use of electrode pads, the following problems should be avoided when using correctly: 1. Does not clean the skin

The skin of the human body is the least conductive part of the whole body, and adhesions such as oil and dander on the skin surface will also hinder the passage of electric current, which further reduces the conductivity of the skin. The therapeutic device must overcome the barrier of the skin to the current in order to achieve the therapeutic effect. Oily skin has a lot of oil on the surface, dandruff on the surface of the skin, oily or dry skin is not conducive to electrical conductivity, and skin oil will accelerate the aging of the conductive adhesive, so the skin must be cleaned before treatment. The method is to scrub the skin with a 75% alcohol cotton ball to remove oil, and then moisten the skin with water to ensure the conductivity of the skin. If it is not oily skin, clean and moisturize the skin with water. This is the first step to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

2. No interlining or adhesive film is needed under the electrode sheet

The silicone rubber electrode sheet has a conductive layer. When someone is treated, the black conductive layer is directly attached to the skin. This method of placing the electrode pads may cause some problems, mainly due to the elasticity of the electrode pads, which cannot guarantee that the electrode pads are in full close contact with the skin, so that the current cannot flow evenly to the human body through the contact surface with the skin. If the current is concentrated on one or several points of the skin, it may cause a tingling sensation on the surface of the skin. In severe cases, it will cause skin burns. Therefore, directly applying electrode pads on the skin surface will affect the treatment effect.

The solution is to line a layer of wet interlining cloth or conductive adhesive between the black surface of the electrode sheet and the skin. The wet lining cloth has good conductivity. When using it, sandbags or elastic bands should be used to fix the electrode pads on the skin to ensure the passage of current and skin, and there will be no skin allergic reactions. The conductive adhesive sheet is a conductive sheet with adhesive on both sides. The adhesive sheet can stick the electrode sheet tightly on the skin, and does not need to be fixed with a sandbag, which is more convenient to use. 3. The interlining is not soaked with water

The wet lining method is to pad a lining cloth soaked with water between the skin and the black surface of the silicon rubber electrode sheet. Some people put the dry interlining directly under the electrode sheet. Because the dry interlining is not conductive, it cannot be treated.

There should be no adhesive film on the silicon rubber electrode sheet at this time. Adhesive tape cannot be used when using wet interlining.
