[Note] Six misunderstandings in the use of electrode pads! ! !

Time:2021-04-15 Views:132

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 used 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, dry skin with dandruff on the surface, oily or dry skin is not conducive to electrical conductivity, and skin oil will accelerate the aging of the conductive adhesive, so you must clean your skin 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 ensure that the electrode pads are in full close contact with the skin, so that the current cannot flow to the human body evenly 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, treatment cannot be performed.

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

     The advantages of using wet interlining are good electrical conductivity, no allergic reaction, guaranteed source of materials (normal white cotton cloth or flannel can be used), and lower cost of repeated use. However, it is necessary to use elastic bands or sandbags to press and fix it during treatment, which is not convenient for treatment operations.

     4. Conductive self-adhesive adhesive care without water

     Self-adhesive adhesive is a layer of conductive adhesive sheet glued to the black conductive surface of the electrode sheet. Some of them are already bonded together when they leave the factory, and some adhesive sheets and silicon rubber electrode sheets are packaged separately, and the user must stick the adhesive sheet on the black surface of the electrode sheet before use. Both sides of the adhesive film are viscous. Generally, one side is more viscous. When attaching the adhesive film, pay attention to the sticky side on the black surface of the electrode sheet. There is a protective sticker on the surface of the adhesive to prevent the adhesive from staining. The sticker should be removed during treatment to make the adhesive stick to the skin surface. After the treatment, stick the sticker to prevent the adhesive from getting dusty.

     The biggest advantage of using conductive adhesive is that it is easy to use, as long as the electrode is attached to the skin treatment area, which is why most people like to use adhesive. The disadvantage is that the electrical conductivity and stickiness of the adhesive film have a certain service life. Generally, it is used more than 100 times (some people use it for dozens of times, depending on the characteristics of the skin and the method of use), and its performance gradually declines. It should be replaced after a period of use Adhesive film increases the cost of use.

     After the adhesive film is used, the surface is stained with dander, etc., which will reduce the viscosity, and the viscosity can be restored by washing it with water and drying it.

     Note: The adhesive film is afraid of oil but not water. It is recommended to clean the adhesive film with clean water before and after use, so that the adhesive film maintains good conductivity and viscosity. Skin oils or oily substances will accelerate the aging and failure of the adhesive film. Care should be taken to remove skin oils before treatment and avoid contact with oily substances at ordinary times.

     If it does fail due to repeated use, you can contact our company to buy a new adhesive sheet to use, or you can remove the failed adhesive sheet (the adhesive of the non-woven fabric or button electrode sheet and the electrode sheet are a whole , Can not be removed), use the wet interlining method to continue the treatment.

     5. I don't know that the adhesive film produces skin allergies

     Most people will not have any adverse reactions when using the adhesive film, but due to differences in personal physique, some people will have skin allergies to the adhesive film. If you find pimples on the skin during use, you should consider whether it is caused by the adhesive film. The use of adhesive tape should be stopped to eliminate allergic effects.

     When the adhesive film is not used, just tear off the adhesive film from the silicon rubber electrode sheet. Use wet interlining as a pad during treatment. Note: Only the adhesive of the silicone rubber electrode sheet can be removed and replaced. If it is a non-woven electrode sheet or a button electrode sheet, the glue and the electrode sheet are connected as a whole, and the adhesive sheet cannot be replaced.

     6. Don't know the electrode is short-circuited

     Someone has two electrode pads very close during treatment, and the wet lining cloth or conductive adhesive film under the electrode pads may touch each other. This situation is called electrode output short circuit.

     The output short-circuit will not cause any damage to the instrument, but the current flows back to the instrument from the short-circuit point and does not pass through the human skin at all, so it cannot play a therapeutic role.

     If the massage effect of the output current is not felt during treatment, it may be that the two electrodes touched together to form a short circuit. First check whether there is a short circuit of the electrode output. If there is a short circuit, just turn off the power, separate the two electrodes and fix them again to continue treatment.
