How to use the electrodes of the physiotherapy instrument correctly

The electrodes of the physiotherapy instrument are a key part of electrotherapy treatment, and their correct use is essential to ensure the treatment effect and safety. The following are the correct use steps and precautions for the electrodes of the physiotherapy instrument:

I. Correct use steps

1. Clean the skin:

--Use warm water and soap to clean the skin in the treatment area, making sure the skin is clean, free of grease and dirt.

--Dry the skin gently with a clean towel to make sure the skin is dry.

2. Prepare the electrodes:

--Choose electrodes of appropriate size and shape according to the treatment needs.

--Tear off the protective film on the electrode to expose the electrode surface. Be careful to avoid touching the electrode surface to avoid affecting its stickiness.

3. Paste the electrode:

--Paste the electrode on the skin of the treatment area, making sure that the electrode fits the skin well and avoids bubbles or wrinkles.

--Adjust the position of the electrode to better cover the treatment area and make sure there is no gap between the electrode and the skin.

4. Connect the wire:

--Insert the wire plug of the electrode into the corresponding socket of the physiotherapy instrument to ensure that the plug has good contact.

5. Set treatment parameters:

--Set appropriate treatment parameters and modes according to the doctor's or therapist's advice.

6. Start treatment:

--Turn on the physical therapy instrument and start treatment. During the treatment, you can adjust the treatment parameters according to your own feelings and treatment effects.

--Pay attention to the reaction during the treatment. If you feel uncomfortable or abnormal, you should stop the treatment immediately and consult a doctor.

7. End treatment:

--Set the treatment time and turn off the physical therapy instrument after the treatment.

--Tear off the electrode gently to avoid excessive pulling on the skin.

II. Precautions

1. Skin condition:

--Patients with broken skin, local sores or inflammation are prohibited from using electrodes.

--Before using electrodes, ask the patient for details, including the location of pain, physical condition and related contraindications.

2. Use of electrodes:

--Different types of electrodes (such as disposable electrodes and reusable electrodes) may have different sticking times and service lives, and should be used according to the requirements in the instructions.

--Avoid using electrodes for a long time. Usually, each use time does not exceed 30 minutes, and a maximum of 2 to 3 times a day.

--After using the electrode, it should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature environment.

3. Current intensity:

--When using the electrode, the current intensity should be controlled to avoid injury caused by excessive current stimulation.

--If the stimulation is too strong, such as strong tingling or burning sensation on the skin, the intensity of the physiotherapy instrument must be reduced.

4. Cleaning and disinfection:

--The skin and electrode should be cleaned before and after use to keep them clean and hygienic.

--The electrode can be gently cleaned with warm water and soap to remove residual glue or dirt. Then dry the electrode with a clean towel.

5. Safe use:

--Avoid sticking the electrode directly to the protruding part of the bone to avoid affecting the conduction of the current.

--For sensitive people such as pregnant women, heart patients, people with pacemakers, etc., physiotherapy electrodes should be used with caution or under the doctor's advice.

We need to use the electrodes of the physiotherapy instrument correctly and follow certain steps and precautions. Through standardized operation and compliance with precautions, the therapeutic effect and safety of the electrode can be ensured.
