Description
A difference that’s more than skin deep.
VitalStim Therapy Electrodes 12/pk ADULT
For use with the 5923-3 Vital Stim E-stim unit.
Protocol Vital S. Typical NMES Implication:
Duty cycle
Current is flowing continuously with only
1 out of 60 second’s rest.
Current flows only 20-50% of the treatment cycle
The VitalStim electrode is exposed to at least 2 times more current load
Treatment duration 60 minutes 20 – 30 minutes, The VitalStim electrode is exposed to current twice as long.
Electrode Size Approximately ½ to ¾ of an inch in diameter Usually at least 4 square inches
The V. stim electrode is exposed to a 5 times higher current density
Why is it different?
- The V. stim electrodes has been specially designed to deal with the challenging treatment conditions of dysphagia therapy using NMES.
- Transmit the high current load and current density of the VitalStim Therapy protocol (which results in a much higher load on the electrode than a typical NMES application in physical medicine and rehabilitation).
- Unique design and material that stretches and molds to the irregular surface of the anterior neck.
- Demonstrated effectiveness in multiple clinical trials.
How is it different?
Based on feedback from our customers, we have redesigned our electrode to meet the
specific demands of dysphagia treatment:
- Unique material that stretches and moves with the patient without gapping
- Material tears without scissors for quick application
- Constructed to provide conductivity with no internal electrode separation
- Excellent adhesion and gentle removal for delicate skin.
The V. stim Therapy electrode is easy to use and gives you the confidence
that you are delivering electrical current consistently.
