A Guide to ECG Electrodes by Application

It may be hard to select the best-fit electrode for your needs because of the sheer number of shapes, sizes, and gel types offered. Nissha Medical Technologies offers a wide range of ECG electrodes, also referred to as “ECG stickers” in clinical settings, to help simplify your choice. Our portfolio includes everything from general all-purpose electrodes to those designed for more specific applications such as Emergency Services or Long-Term Patient Monitoring, supporting the delivery of high-quality care for your patients.

ECG Electrodes by Use Case

ZBrand: General

Our most economical electrode, ZBrand ECG electrodes, are great for general patient monitoring solutions, while also remaining high in quality performance. These electrodes were designed to meet the requirements of the entire hospital. From compact designs for tight spaces to a choice between foam, cloth, and tape options—as well as solid and wet gel—these ECG electrodes come in a range of shapes and sizes to best suit your patient’s needs.

For a high volume, sustainable, and generic patient monitoring solution choose ZBrand ECG Electrodes for quality performance.

PerformancePlus: Stress

Our Vermed PerformancePlus ECG electrodes are designed for stress and holter testing. Because the special adhesive keeps electrodes in place on your patient, it reduces motion artifacts and repeat testing. These electrodes use high chloride wet gel, which means the gel hydrates the patient’s skin and produces fast, clear traces.

In critical diagnostic situations, like stress and holter testing, the PerformancePlus ECG electrode line ensures quality readings, fewer artifacts and reduce repeat procedures.

SilveRest: Resting ECG

Our Vermed SilveRest ECG electrodes set the industry standard in diagnostic electrodes. These electrodes produce fast, clear traces due to the superior silver/silver chloride technology, high chloride content, and wet gel. The excellent adhesion and clear traces mean no repeat testing.

To monitor patients during resting EKG and Echo Sound procedures, the SilveRest ECG electrodes line is the best fit.

EMS: Emergency

Our Vermed EMS ECG electrodes are designed for cases where every second counts. These electrodes are perfect for achieving fast, accurate readings due to the large, special adhesive and high chloride wet gel. All of Nissha Medical Technologies’ Vermed electrodes use the highest quality materials and meet or exceed AAMI specifications for disposable ECG electrodes.

Select the EMS ECG electrodes line when time is crucial for your EMS and emergency service needs.

TenderTrode: Pediatrics

Our TenderTrode™ ECG electrodes are designed with soft, conforming materials and hypoallergenic adhesives to provide safe, comfortable monitoring for infant and pediatric patients. The line includes a variety of electrode types tailored for applications such as diagnostics, APNEA, and continuous monitoring in the PICU.

TenderTrode Plus

TenderTrode™ Plus electrodes are specifically engineered for long-term neonatal use. These pre-wired electrodes use hydrocolloid adhesive instead of traditional tape, reducing the risk of skin irritation while supporting up to five days of continuous wear. This extended wear time minimizes the need for electrode changes, saving nursing time and improving continuity of care in NICU environments.

TenderTrode Pre-wired

TenderTrode™ Pre-Wired electrodes are available in multiple sizes and offer a choice between metallic and radio-translucent lead wires to support a range of neonatal monitoring needs. Designed for ease of use, these electrodes pair gentle adhesives with reliable signal quality, making them ideal for the NICU and other critical care settings.

TenderTrode TinyTab

TinyTab™ neonatal ECG electrodes are half the size of standard adult tabs, eliminating the need to modify larger electrodes for small patients. Part of the TenderTrode™ family, TinyTab™ combines a small footprint with soft, skin-friendly materials to ensure a secure fit and clear traces on neonatal patients.

For every infant and pediatric application, such as Diagnostics, APNEA, and PICU, choose the TenderTrode ECG electrodes line.

ClearScan: Imaging

Our radiolucent, MR Conditional electrodes for ECG monitoring are key to keeping your imaging free of obstruction. Our Vermed ClearScan ECG electrodes are designed with a carbon-filled plastic snap that will not interfere with your Imaging Systems.

Choose the ClearScan ECG electrodes for use in the Cath Lab, EP, MRI, Radiology, or wherever imaging occurs.

VersaTrode: All-Purpose

Our Vermed VersaTrode disposable ECG electrodes are the ideal choice for all adult cardiac monitoring and diagnostic applications, such as stress test, long-term monitoring, short-term monitoring, or resting ECG. Our VersaTrode ECG electrodes come in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes to fit your unique needs.

Select the VersaTrode ECG electrodes as your “House” electrode for everyday patient monitoring.

SofTouch: Sensitive Skin

Our Vermed SofTouch ECG electrodes are designed for patients with sensitive skin. Components such as mildly aggressive adhesive and hypoallergenic breathable tape are perfect for patients who have had reactions to your primary electrode or for elderly patients. Our specially formulated wet gel also provides instantaneous readings, reducing prep-time.

Select the SofTouch ECG electrodes for patients with sensitive skin while performing cardiac monitoring and diagnostic procedures, especially in Cardiac Rehab, ICU, CCU, and Med-Surge departments.

Guardian: Long-Term

Our Vermed Guardian ECG monitoring electrodes are designed for long-term wear. The use of low chloride wet gel and hypoallergenic adhesives reduce the possibility of irritation associated with long-term use. The universal snaps offer a high-quality silver/silver chloride sensor to produce clear traces.

For quality readings in all your critical monitoring procedures, specifically the ICU, CCU, and other long-term applications, choose Guardian ECG electrodes.
