Question
Hello, I was looking for some platinum electrodes and I saw that you have a couple of different kinds of Platinum electrodes. I was wondering if these electrodes adhere to the skin with some kind of glue or if they are mobile and can glide over the skin with little to no resistence. Quick response to this question may result in purchasing of numerous platinum electrodes. Thank you.

Answer

Dear Jeckin:

Thank you for your inquiry.  These electrodes are reusable.  They are self-adhering meaning that there is gel on the back of them and are applied to a specific area of the body.  No glue is needed to adhere them to the skin, they come pre-gelled.  On the average, they can be used 15-20 different times before they no longer stick to the skin. They will not glide over the skin. Any other questions, please give us a call back at 877-706-4480.
