In addition, the electrodes come in resealable bags which prolong electrode life and freshness.

With our premier MedGel electrodes, we offer the highest quality gel which ensures dependable performance. MedGel electrodes have an easy lead wire attachment with perforated strip backing, convenient tab for quick removal, and grid lines on the strips that help limit clinician slips.

Studies have shown that re-usable electrodes can create a risk of cross contamination. In 2002, the World Health Organization reported that the problem of nosocomial-acquired infections affects 1.4 million people worldwide. In the United Kingdom, approximately 5,000 patients die each year as result of healthcare-acquired infections (1). Re-usable ECG electrodes and electrode pads are among the causes of cross contamination (2). A study done by Mannion et al. (3) concluded that there are clinical and economic consequences related to healthcare-acquired infections.

Consequently, Medline offers single-use electrodes that comply with the different measurements applied by hospitals to reduce the risk of cross contamination in the hospital environment.

The components of Medline electrodes meet high demands in order to provide our customers with quality and suitable products. To learn more about Medline electrodes visit www.medline.com/uk
