PALS Platinum TENS Electrodes
PALS Platinum TENS Electrodes are reusable, self-adhesive neurostimulation electrodes designed for use with compatible TENS and electrical muscle stimulation devices. Their flexible stainless-steel knit construction and hydrogel help the electrode conform to the skin and distribute stimulation across the electrode surface.
Why Choose PALS Platinum Electrodes?
- Flexible construction: designed to conform to body contours and maintain good skin contact.
- Even current distribution: the conductive fabric is designed to disperse stimulation across the electrode surface and reduce uncomfortable edge concentration.
- Reusable: the self-adhesive hydrogel allows repeated use when the electrodes are stored and cared for correctly.
- Several shapes and sizes: choose an electrode size that suits the treatment area and your compatible stimulation device.
- Suitable for neurostimulation: designed for TENS and electrical muscle stimulation applications.
Will They Fit My TENS or EMS Machine?
PALS Platinum electrodes use a 2 mm connection. Check the connector used by your TENS or EMS lead wires before ordering. Do not assume that replacement electrodes are compatible with every stimulation device.
If you are unsure, compare your existing electrode connector with your machine instructions or contact PhysioWorks before purchasing.
Which Electrode Size Should I Choose?
Different shapes and sizes can help match the electrode to the body area being treated. Smaller electrodes may be useful where the available treatment area is limited, while larger electrodes provide a broader contact area.
| Size | Shape | Quantity per pack |
|---|---|---|
| 3.2 cm | Round | 4 |
| 5 cm | Round | 4 |
| 5 × 5 cm | Square | 4 |
| 5 × 9 cm | Rectangle | 4 |
| 7.5 × 10 cm | Rectangle | 2 |
Selection tip: choose the size recommended for your device, electrode placement and intended treatment area. If you have been given a specific electrode placement by your physiotherapist or another health professional, continue to follow that advice.
How Do PALS Platinum Electrodes Work?
The electrodes use a flexible conductive fabric together with self-adhesive hydrogel. This construction helps maintain contact with the skin and distribute electrical stimulation over the electrode surface.
The electrodes themselves do not determine the strength or clinical effect of TENS or EMS. Treatment response also depends on the device, settings, electrode placement and individual circumstances.
Using and Caring for Your Electrodes
- Apply the electrodes to clean, intact skin.
- Check the electrode and lead connection before use.
- Follow the instructions supplied with your TENS or EMS device.
- After use, return the electrodes to their protective backing and store them as directed.
- Replace electrodes when they become damaged, no longer adhere adequately or provide inconsistent contact.
Safety and Suitability
Use electrical stimulation equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stop using the electrodes if you develop significant skin irritation or if stimulation becomes unexpectedly uncomfortable.
Seek professional advice before using TENS or EMS if you are unsure whether electrical stimulation is appropriate for you, particularly after recent surgery or when symptoms are new, worsening or unexplained.
