Preparing The Skin For Running A Session
Proper preparation of the skin covered by the electrodes allows more stimulation
to reach targeted tissues, prolongs electrode life, and reduces the risk of skin irrita-
tion. After connecting the lead wire(s) to the stimulator, use the following steps to
prepare your skin at the electrode placement sites:
1. Determine the placement sites for the electrodes.
2. Wash the area with mild soap and water (do not use alcohol). Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Trim excess body hair from the area with scissors (do not shave).
4. Optionally, apply skin prep to the area to form a protective barrier on your skin.
Apply, let dry, and apply electrode as directed. This will both reduce the
chance of skin irritation and extend the life of your electrodes.
5. When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the direction of
hair growth.
6. It may be helpful to apply skin lotion on electrode placement area when not
wearing electrodes.
Please refer to the “Overview of the placement of the pads” on pages
50 and 51.
