Product Information

AlternativeElectrodes are shipped in resealable poly bags. Each bag contains 10 resealable packs of electrodes.

Each pack contains either 4 individual electrodes or 2 butterfly electrodes. All electrodes are reusable.

Either one. You can order speech electrodes that use min-snap connectors or wire leads with pin connectors. You need to match your electrode with the equipment (wire lead) you are using.

AlternativeElectrodes are designed to be used with the most popular e-stim devices on the market that are used to treat dysphagia. They have been successfully used by Speech Pathologists since 2006 in millions of swallowing treatments.

All packs of mini-snap electrodes include 3 skin prep pads. We assume that each pack of electrodes will be reused on a patient 3 times and then changed out for new electrodes.

Electrodes with wire leads and pin connectors do not include skin prep pads, but they can be ordered separately.

Some. We carry wire leads that fit some of the older devices on the market. We can supply leads with either mini-snap or pin connections.

Leads can be very device-specific - not on the electrode side, but on the device side and it becomes very difficult to keep all styles in stock.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions on whether our leads will fit your device.

Absolutely.

Alternative Electrodes were introduced to lower the cost of treating dysphagia. We do this by charging less for the electrodes and making them reusable (on the same patient).

The number of times they can be reused depends mainly on the patient. Many of our clinicians use our electrodes 2 or 3 times on the same patient. If the patient's skin is dry and in good condition they might be used more than 3 times. Extra skin prep pads are available if a clinician wishes to extend the use of the electrodes beyond 3 times.

All shipments are done through FedEx so please be sure to provide a proper shipping address, not a PO box.
