Support your patients on their path to recovery with the VitalStim Adult Electrodes. Designed specifically for use with the VitalStim Therapy System, these electrodes are engineered to transmit cardiac-safe electrical current to the anterior neck muscles, facilitating neuromuscular re-education for the swallowing mechanism.

Reliability is critical during therapy sessions. These electrodes feature a low-impedance design and a unique material composition that ensures excellent conductivity. They adhere securely to the skin without causing irritation, providing consistent contact throughout the entire treatment session. The easy-to-use application process minimizes setup time, allowing you to focus more on patient care and less on equipment adjustments. With 50 electrodes per pack, you are well-equipped for multiple sessions, ensuring continuity of care.

Key Features and Benefits

Designed for Swallowing Therapy: Optimized specifically for the unique needs of dysphagia treatment, delivering targeted stimulation to the throat muscles.
Reliable Adhesion: The specialized adhesive maintains a strong bond with the skin, preventing lifting or shifting during movement, even over extended periods.
Optimal Conductivity: Low impedance ensures that the electrical current is delivered efficiently and comfortably to the target muscles.
Skin-Friendly Design: Constructed with materials that are gentle on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation or discomfort during and after use.
Single-Use Convenience: Each electrode is designed for single-patient use to maintain hygiene standards and prevent cross-contamination.

Indications for Use

VitalStim Electrodes are intended for use with the VitalStim Therapy System for the treatment of dysphagia. They are indicated for:

Muscle re-education of the swallowing musculature by application of external electrical stimulation.
Preventing or retarding disuse atrophy of the swallowing muscles.
Relaxing muscle spasms in the anterior neck area.
Increasing local blood circulation to the targeted area.

Contraindications

VitalStim Electrodes should not be used in the following situations:

Over tumors, malignant lesions, or infected areas.
On the carotid sinus nerves, across or through the chest, over phrenic nerves, atranscollation sites (chest area), over metal implants (e.g., pacemaker), on patients with cardiac demand pacemakers and/or shortwave devices, in the pubic region during pregnancy or if you have a history of epilepsy.
If you are using electronic monitoring equipment such as ECG monitors, because it may result in electrical interference.
For use by children or individuals with physical or mental disabilities without the supervision of an adult caretaker.
