ConMed Backpad Electrode (50/Case)

The ConMed Backpad Electrode is engineered as a one-piece disposable monitoring system to significantly streamline patient setup and enhance workflow in multi-lead ECG monitoring. It simplifies the process in the following key ways:

• Minimized Setup Time: The pre-gelled, disposable design allows for simple, one-step application directly onto the patient’s back.
• Clutter-Free Monitoring: It utilizes a pre-attached, low-profile 28-inch (71 cm) bonded leadwire system which prevents leadwire tangling and simplifies overall handling.
• Reduced Contamination Risk: As a single-use, disposable system, it helps mitigate the risk of cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections.
• Reliable Signal Acquisition: Four integrated Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) sensors and conductive adhesive hydrogel ensure quick signal retention and maximum performance.
• Superior Adhesion: Medical-grade acrylic adhesive ensures the pad remains securely in place, even when exposed to Operating Room prep solutions.

Yes, the ConMed Backpad Electrode is specifically engineered for superior signal performance and reliable continuous ECG monitoring. The design maximizes signal integrity through several key features:

• High-Quality Sensors: It utilizes four radiolucent electrode sensors coated with Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl), which is essential for maximizing signal stability and acquisition.
• Rapid Contact: A specialized conductive adhesive hydrogel is pre-applied to ensure quick signal retention upon patient contact.
• Exceptional Stability: The Adult variant offers outstanding electrical stability, featuring an Electrical DC Offset of 0.0 mV, which minimizes baseline drift during continuous monitoring.
• Secure Adhesion: The low-profile foam substrate uses a durable medical-grade acrylic adhesive, ensuring secure conformity to the patient’s skin. This strong adhesion resists O.R. prep solutions, helping to prevent motion artifacts and maintain consistent signal contact.

Yes, the ConMed Backpad Electrode is available in two distinct sizes—Adult and Infant—to ensure optimal fit and signal quality for different patient populations. Each case includes 50 electrodes.

The specific dimensions for the basepad size are:

• Adult Variant: 6.5” x 7.5” (16.5 cm x 19 cm)
• Infant Variant: 3.5” x 6.0” (8.9 cm x 16.24 cm)

It is important to note that the electrical specifications (such as AC Impedance and DC Offset) are individually calibrated for each size to guarantee superior signal performance specific to that patient group.

The ConMed Backpad Electrodes are packaged with 50 units per case.

No, the ConMed Backpad Electrode is not made with natural rubber latex, minimizing the risk of latex sensitivity issues for patients.

The ConMed Backpad Electrode includes a pre-attached, low-profile, bonded leadwire system that measures 28 inches (71 cm) in length. This integrated, disposable system is designed to streamline clinical workflow by simplifying patient setup and minimizing leadwire tangling. The leadwire terminates in a durable, proprietary Molex-style connector that is compatible only with ConMed ECG Backpad Cables.

Yes, the ConMed Backpad Electrode is designed for superior and stable adhesion throughout continuous monitoring.

Key features ensuring reliable placement include:

• Medical-Grade Acrylic Adhesive: This robust adhesive provides strong, long-lasting adherence to the skin.
• Resistance to Prep Solutions: The low-profile foam substrate and acrylic adhesive are specifically engineered to resist fluid absorption, maintaining secure placement even when exposed to operating room (O.R.) prep solutions.
• Conforming Substrate: The closed cell polyethylene foam basepad conforms easily to the patient’s back, ensuring consistent contact for stable signal acquisition.

Yes, the ConMed Backpad Electrode has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture, ensuring a long usability period.

Yes, the ConMed Backpad Electrode is specifically designed as a one-piece, disposable monitoring system to significantly streamline clinical workflow and patient setup. It is a key selling point intended for rapid application.

Key benefits that simplify the monitoring process include:

• Rapid Application: The system is pre-gelled and applied in one simple step, which drastically reduces the time needed for patient setup.
• Minimized Tangling: It incorporates a pre-attached, low-profile 28-inch (71 cm) bonded leadwire system, eliminating the logistical issues and tangling associated with separate leadwires.
• Infection Control: As a single-use disposable unit, it helps minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
• Consistent Quality: It features four radiolucent Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) sensors embedded in the basepad for superior signal performance immediately upon placement.
