Description
Specific uses of ECG gel:
Electrocardiography (ECG): Ensures a clear, accurate recording of the heart’s electrical activity.
Electromyography (EMG): Records the electrical activity of muscles.
Electroencephalography (EEG): Records the electrical activity of the brain.
Galvanic skin response: Measures changes in skin conductance.
Polygraphy: Detects physiological responses to questions.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): Used for medical treatment.
Other electro-medical procedures: May be used in treatments like TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).
Key characteristics of ECG gel:
High conductivity: Allows electrical signals to pass through the gel effectively.
High viscosity: Resists drying, ensuring consistent contact with the skin.
Good adhesion: Allows electrodes to adhere securely to the skin.
Non-irritable: Designed to be gentle on the skin.
Easy cleanup: Typically water-soluble and non-greasy.
