What are Disposable ECG Electrodes?
Disposable ECG Electrodes are medical diagnostic tools used for electrocardiography (ECG) in order to record the electrical activity of the heart. The electrodes are self-adhesive patches that have attached sensors. These sensors detect and transmit the electrical signals that are produced by the heart's contractions.
Each disposable ECG electrode features an Ag/AgCl sensor and medical conductive solid gel. They are produced using latex-free material and are available in a foam non-woven style. The electrodes are produced in 7 different sizes and three shapes: round, teardrop, or square.
AdvaCare Pharma manufactures Disposable ECG Electrodes in ISO and CE-certified facilities situated in India, China, and the USA. Every facility and production plant strictly adheres to rigorous international standards, ensuring the utmost quality and safety.
Product Specifications
Material
Shape
Foam
Foam ECG electrodes are made with a soft foam backing. They have a strong adhesive backing that can securely attach to the skin and ensure reliable contact throughout the ECG recording.
Foam electrodes are generally more durable and can withstand repeated use without losing adhesion, making them ideal for extended periods of use.
Non-Woven
Non-Woven ECG electrodes are made from a fabric-like material that is hypoallergenic and suitable for patients with sensitive skin. The porous material can reduce the build-up of moisture or sweat and improve air circulation.
Non-woven electrodes are intended for single use, and they can be easily removed without leaving adhesive residue or causing discomfort.
Round
Round disposable ECG electrodes have been designed for optimal contact and adherence to the skin. The shape provides a wide surface area for electrode-skin contact, which helps to promote signal acquisition and minimizes the risk of signal loss or distortion.
The circular shape allows for flexible placement on various areas of the body, accommodating a range of patients. Round electrodes are commonly used in standard ECG monitoring and can provide reliable and consistent readings.
Teardrop
Teardrop disposable ECG electrodes feature a unique shape that has been specifically designed for precise placement and optimal contact with specific areas of the body.
The teardrop shape offers more accurate positioning in challenging areas of the body, like around a bony prominence. The shape helps ensure reliable signal acquisition, and it is often preferred for specialized ECG applications when precise placement is essential.
Square
Square disposable ECG electrodes provide a large surface area, which allows for strong and stable electrode-to-skin contact. This helps to ensure accurate and reliable signal transmission during ECG monitoring.
The square shape is suitable for situations requiring high adhesion and secure placement, such as monitoring patients during physical activities or in an ambulatory setting.

Uses
What are Disposable ECG Electrodes used for?
They are used for recording electrical signals from the heart during an ECG test.
How are Disposable ECG Electrodes used?
The electrodes can be applied to specific locations on a patient's chest, arms, and legs. Once the electrodes are positioned in place, the ECG machine records the signals and generates a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart.
How should Disposable ECG Electrodes be properly disposed of after use?
After use, the electrodes should be disposed of as per proper medical waste management guidelines and local regulations.
FAQs
How do Disposable ECG Electrodes work?
They work by detecting and transmitting the electrical signals produced by the heart during an electrocardiogram (ECG) recording. Each electrode is equipped with a conductive material that is embedded in an adhesive pad. The material establishes an electrical connection with the skin surface and picks up the electrical impulses from the heart.
What are the different shapes used for?
The teardrop, round, or square ECG electrodes are designed to cater to different patient needs and preferences. The shape of the electrode may affect the skin contact area, adherence, and signal quality.
What are the benefits of the different types of materials for ECG electrodes?
The choice between foam and non-woven electrodes may depend on factors such as patient comfort, skin sensitivity, and the specific requirements of the particular procedure. Foam electrodes are generally more durable and can withstand repeated use without losing their adhesive properties, while non-woven electrodes can minimize the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions in those with sensitive skin.
Are there different sizes of Disposable ECG Electrodes available?
There are different sizes available to accommodate various patient populations and specific application needs.
