Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG[a]). It is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin. These electrodes detect the small electrical changes that are a consequence of cardiac muscle depolarization followed by repolarization during each cardiac cycle (heartbeat). Changes in the normal ECG pattern occur in numerous cardiac abnormalities, including cardiac rhythm disturbances (such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia), inadequate coronary artery blood flow (such as myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction), and electrolyte disturbances (such as hypokalemia and hyperkalemia).

We continue to provide the very best in quality and performance for electrodes primarily used in Stress Tests and Holter Monitoring.

Our Diagnostic resting ECG electrodes are the standard in diagnostic electrodes. Superior silver/silver chloride technology and quality construction produce an electrode that performs every time.

Neonatal pre-wired ECG electrodes feature a conductive adhesive hydrogel that provides firm adhesion while minimizing irritation to delicate newborn skin.
