How to use iReliev Pads and Leads?

Optimize The Life of The Pads

• Clean the skin with an alcohol swab or use iReliev TENS Wipes to prepare the skin for electrode placement
• Always dry the area before applying the electrode pads
• For the purposes of hygiene, don’t share the electrode pads with other people
• When removing the electrode pads from the skin, peel from the side of the electrode pad
• Do not pull the electrode pad by the wire as it can easily compromise the electrode pad
• Be sure to properly store the electrode pads after each electrotherapy session
• Make sure to stick the pads onto the transparent plastic film provided in the pack
• Place the film with the electrode pads back inside the poly bag and be sure to remove any excess air
• Seal bag for storage
• Note - Do not place around or on open wound. Do not place electrodes near heart

How to make TENS unit Pads sticky again?

• Care for the skin - Before each use, make sure to clean the skin with gentle soap and water. This helps remove any of the natural oils that may take away some of the stickiness on the electrode pads.
• Clean the Electrode Pads - After each use, care for the TENS electrode pads by cleaning them with a moist cloth. If the pads are less sticky than they used to be, it may be because of dirt or oil. Be sure while using a towel or a wash cloth, and not something that can leave residue, like a paper towel. Sometimes, just a few droplets of water can help bring back some stickiness but be aware not to over saturate them.
• Brush the Electrode Pads - One may use a clean toothbrush and gently brush the electrode pads in one direction, as though one is brushing a pet. This may help to expose some of the electrode;s stickiness.
• Use Electrode Gels & Electrolyte Sprays - Using conductive gel can help preserve the pads moisture and act as an extra conductor for the electrical impulses for increased comfort. The same is true for electrolyte sprays. These products can help one get a little more life out of older electrode pads.
