Key Features
Buffered Electrodes: This is the most important safety feature. A buffering agent is built into the electrodes to keep the skin's pH stable during treatment. This dramatically reduces the risk of skin irritation or chemical burns.
Medium Oval Shape: The oval design is perfect for applying to curved or uneven body parts where a flat patch wouldn't work well. It's versatile enough for joints like the elbow, wrist, and ankle.
Absorbent Medication Pad: The electrode has an absorbent matrix that holds the prescribed liquid medication. This ensures the drug is spread evenly over the treatment area and avoids the need for messy gels.
Efficient Conduction: It uses a silver-silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) element to distribute the electrical current uniformly. This prevents "hot spots" that can cause discomfort.
Hypoallergenic Materials: The kits are made from medical-grade, latex-free materials to prevent allergic reactions.
Complete Kit: Each package is a self-contained kit for one treatment session, typically including one active electrode (for the medication), one return electrode, and an alcohol wipe to clean the skin.
Primary Uses
This type of kit is a go-to tool in physical therapy and sports medicine for treating localized conditions. It delivers medication right where it's needed, which means faster relief with fewer side effects than oral medications.
Common uses include:
Treating Localized Inflammation: It's most often used to deliver anti-inflammatory drugs like dexamethasone for conditions such as:
Tendonitis (e.g., tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, patellar tendonitis)
Bursitis (inflammation in the joints)
Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
Managing Localized Pain: It can deliver local anesthetics, like lidocaine, for targeted pain relief.
Scar Tissue Management: In some cases, it's used to help improve the flexibility of scar tissue by delivering specific medications.
