Electrodes
23.1 Use and care
23
All ordinary electrodes that are used in electrotherapy can be connected to the
Soleoline by using isolated lead clips. Most successful are the disposable
electrodes from Zimmer MedizinSystems. These electrodes are simple, quick,
exact and hygienic.
Plate electrodes and rubber electrodes are also available in addition to the
disposable electrodes for large surface application. In order to avoid placing the
bare plate electrodes directly onto the skin, the electrodes are surrounded by
sponge pockets. The sponge pockets must be kept wet at all times during the
therapy. Lukewarm tap water is most suitable. To attach the sponge pockets,
use the rubber bands. The electrodes need to cling to the body surface with a
slight pressure, however pressure marks should not be left by the rubber
bands.
Electrically, plate electrodes are connected like disposable electrodes, using
the electrode lead clips. The clips are connected to the plate electrodes which
have been previously placed inside the sponge pockets. After the therapy
session, the sponges should be cleaned well with water or with a disinfecting
solution.
Do not place electrodes on skin injuries. Even minor cracks or injuries are likely
to cause burns and the patient will feel the current intensity differently. If this
cannot be avoided, use zinc cream to cover sensitive areas.
