Chattanooga Electrode Sponge (1/pack)

Maximize the effectiveness of your electrotherapy sessions with this high-quality replacement Electrode Sponge. Designed to function as a critical interface between electrode cups and the skin, this sponge ensures optimal conductivity and patient comfort during stimulation treatments. Over time, older sponges can degrade, dry out, or accumulate residue, which impedes the electrical signal. Replacing your equipment with this fresh, high-density sponge guarantees a smooth, consistent delivery of electrical impulses, allowing therapy to proceed without the interruptions or discomfort caused by poor contact.

This sponge is engineered for use with carbon rubber electrodes across various electrotherapy modalities, including TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation). It serves as a conductive medium that reduces skin impedance and prevents the risk of electrochemical burns or irritation often associated with direct contact. It is suitable for physical therapy clinics, rehabilitation centers, and home-use devices requiring wet-sponge conduction.

Key Features and Benefits

• Superior Conductivity: The porous cellulose material is designed to absorb and retain water effectively, maintaining the moisture levels necessary for a steady, uninterrupted current flow throughout the treatment.
• Enhanced Comfort: By creating a soft, damp cushion against the skin, the sponge eliminates "hot spots" and the stinging sensation that can occur with dry or worn-out pads, ensuring a more pleasant therapy experience.
• Hygienic Application: Sold individually, this sponge allows for easy and affordable replacement. Regularly changing sponges prevents bacterial buildup and maintains high sanitary standards.
• Durable Composition: Built to withstand repeated wetting and drying cycles, the material resists crumbling and tearing, offering reliable performance over multiple uses.
• Multi-Purpose Usage: Whether used for iontophoresis, immediate gel applications, or general electrode placement, this versatile sponge makes an excellent choice for a wide range of treatments.
• Easy to Use: Simply moisten the sponge with water and wring out excess liquid before applying to the designated area. The sponge adheres well to wet skin, ensuring secure contact and optimal treatment results.
• Economic Value: Considering its durability and hygienic benefits, this sponge offers exceptional value for its cost. Its long-lasting properties make it a wise investment for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking at-home therapy options alike.

Indications for Use

• Conductivity Enhancement: Dampen with water or conductive gel to facilitate electrical transmission between carbon rubber electrodes and the skin.
• Skin Protection: Creates a soft, moist barrier to prevent direct contact burns or irritation from dry electrodes.
• Device Compatibility: Suitable for use with TENS units, EMS devices, and other electrotherapy systems utilizing carbon rubber pads.
• Hygiene Maintenance: Use as a replaceable interface to maintain cleanliness between uses or different patients (when replaced or cleaned according to protocol).
