Chattanooga VitalStim Electrodes Small (12x Single Use Kits)

Ensure consistent, reliable delivery of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) with VitalStim Electrodes. Designed to serve as the critical interface between the stimulation generator and the patient, these electrodes are engineered for superior conductivity and adhesion. The "Small" size is specifically contoured to fit smaller anatomical areas or pediatric patients, allowing for precise placement on the anterior neck without compromising contact quality.

Constructed with a flexible material that moves with the skin, these electrodes maintain a strong signal even during active muscle contractions and swallowing exercises. The specialized design minimizes impedance, ensuring that the electrical current reaches the target muscle groups effectively while maintaining patient comfort throughout the therapy session. Each kit is packaged for single-patient use, promoting the highest standards of hygiene and infection control in clinical settings.

Key Features and Benefits

• Precision Fit: The smaller form factor is ideal for pediatric patients or adults with smaller facial and neck structures, ensuring targeted stimulation where it is needed most.
• Superior Adhesion: High-quality adhesive properties ensure the electrodes stay firmly in place during therapy but remove gently without irritating sensitive skin.
• Reliable Conductivity: Low-impedance design facilitates the smooth transmission of electrical current, maximizing the effectiveness of each stimulation cycle.
• Hygienic Application: Pre-packaged in single-use kits to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a fresh, highly conductive electrode for every new treatment series.
• Flexible Contouring: The pliable material adapts to the curvature of the throat, preventing lifting or peeling during movement.

Indications for Use

VitalStim Electrodes are intended to be used with the VitalStim Therapy System to provide functional electrical stimulation to the muscles of the neck. They are indicated for use in the treatment of dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) by re-educating the throat muscles needed for swallowing. They are designed for external application on the skin only.

• Chronic pain relief: Electrical stimulation through conductive electrodes can help reduce chronic pain by blocking pain signals and promoting the release of endorphins.
• Muscle rehabilitation: After an injury or surgery, muscles may become weak and atrophied. Conductive electrodes can help stimulate muscle contraction and promote muscle re-education.
• Nerve stimulation: Certain conditions such as neuropathy or nerve damage can benefit from electrical nerve stimulation using conductive electrodes to improve sensation and function.
• Edema reduction: Swelling due to inflammation or injury can be reduced with the use of conductive electrodes, which helps increase circulation and promote lymphatic drainage.
• Wound healing: Electrical stimulation through conductive electrodes has been shown to promote tissue regeneration and accelerate wound healing in some cases.
