These are standard foam electrodes pre-gelled with solid conductive gel, designed for routine ECG monitoring in clinics, diagnostic centres, and hospital wards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Gel and Adhesive Matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductive gel on each electrode is formulated to be aggressive enough for excellent skin adhesion, which is what gives a clear, reliable tracing rather than a noisy or intermittent signal. Reliable adhesion matters more than it might seem: an electrode that lifts partway through a recording, or one that never made full contact in the first place, can distort the ECG trace or force a technician to repeat the reading. The foam backing on these electrodes is designed to stay in place through a standard monitoring session while remaining comfortable enough for the patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Easy, Fast Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach electrode is disposable and includes lift tabs, so placement and removal are quick — useful in a busy ECG room or ward where technicians are working through patients back-to-back. The square shape is the standard footprint for general ECG lead placement, and each box holds 100 electrodes, sized for routine clinical use rather than occasional single tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Pack Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pack suits hospitals, diagnostic labs, cardiology clinics, and any healthcare setting that performs ECG monitoring regularly enough to need a standing supply rather than a handful of electrodes at a time. Because they're a genuine 3M product, they're a straightforward like-for-like restock for facilities already using 3M electrodes on their ECG or patient-monitoring equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean and, if necessary, lightly prep the skin at each lead placement site before applying an electrode, to help the gel make full contact. Press the electrode down firmly enough to seat the gel against the skin, connect the lead wire, and proceed with the recording as per your standard ECG protocol. To remove, lift from the tab rather than pulling at the foam edge, which helps avoid unnecessary discomfort for the patient and keeps the electrode intact for disposal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrode type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foam, solid gel, square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 electrodes per box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e ECG monitoring \/ cardiac diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are these electrodes used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey're used to attach ECG leads to the skin for cardiac monitoring, giving a clear and reliable trace during a standard ECG recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many electrodes come in a box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach box contains 100 electrodes, sized for regular clinical use rather than occasional single tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these electrodes reusable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They're disposable, single-use electrodes with lift tabs for quick, easy removal once the recording is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these genuine 3M electrodes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, they're manufactured under the 3M brand, with the product marketed and supported in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat shape are the electrodes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey're square, the standard footprint used for most general ECG lead placements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho should use these electrodes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey're intended for use by trained clinical staff performing ECG monitoring in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\/Marketed By:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3M, USA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAddress:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48-51, Electronic City, Hosur Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndia Helpline:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1800 425 3030\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MeddeyGo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42455999709339,"sku":"MSH1000576","price":828.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/0002\/6458\/products\/1634466732_3m-ecg-electrode-meddey.jpg?v=1655586055"},{"product_id":"niko-ecg-electrodes-round-60-pc-per-pack-5613078549","title":"Niko ECG Electrodes Round 60 Pc Per Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eNiko ECG Electrodes Round 60 Pc Per Pack\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MeddeyGo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42456022646939,"sku":"MSH1002346","price":367.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/0002\/6458\/products\/1643034251_niko-ecg-electrodes-round.jpg?v=1655586876"},{"product_id":"niko-ecg-electrodes-square-60-pc-per-pack-429943780","title":"Niko ECG Electrodes Square 60 Pc Per Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eNiko ECG Electrodes Square 60 Pc Per Pack\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MeddeyGo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42456022679707,"sku":"MSH1002347","price":413.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/0002\/6458\/products\/1643034287_niko-ecg-electrodes-square.jpg?v=1655586877"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/0002\/6458\/collections\/Ecg-Electrodes-Cover.jpg?v=1792386786","url":"https:\/\/meddey.com\/collections\/ecg-electrodes.oembed","provider":"Meddey.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
