3M 2249-50 - Electrode Monitoring Red Dot Tape Round 6cm 50/Bg, 20 BG/CA
3M Red Dot ECG Monitoring Electrodes, with 3M Micropore Tape Backing
Monitoring Electrode with 3M Micropore Tape backing, with abrader.
- Micropore tape backing is breathable, flexible and conformable, yet is gentle to the skin for increased patient comfort.
- Patented solid gel conforms to the skin quickly allowing high quality, uninterrupted traces.
- The gel's low chloride content minimizes skin irritation for increased patient comfort.
- Provides good performance for up to 30 days out of the bag
- Use of built-in abrader disc improves trace quality for better results (only on 2249).
Suggested Applications
- ECG monitoring situations that require a comfortable, breathable and permeable backing
- ICU/CCU
- Telemetry
- Holter monitoring
Commonly Asked Questions
? Questions: Why are there so many different types of backings that are available in the 3M Red Dot product line?
? Answer: Some are for use in long-term wear situations and others are for short-term situations and still others are for problem adhesion conditions.
- Micropore
- Foam
- Clear Plastic
- Soft Cloth
? Questions: What is the difference(s) between a short-term and long-term electrode?
? Answer: Short-term electrodes:
- Used for a shorter period.
- Less porous/occlusive.
- Good initial tack.
- Used for demanding applications.
Long-term electrodes:
- Used for a longer period.
- More porous/breathable.
- Clinically tested to be safe and effective for long-term use (up to 3 days).
? Questions: Why is skin abrading recommended prior to attaching electrodes?
? Answer: To reduce skin impedance and expose the inner conductive layer of the epidermis to enhance trace quality. 3M Red Dot Trace Prep is a "tool" to solve trace quality issues and artifacts (if skin impedance related). Virtually all electrodes face trace quality and skin impedance issues. 3M Red Dot Trace Prep is designed to minimize those issues. Skin abrading is not only meant for 3M Red Dot electrodes, it is a good practice to enhance trace quality. 3M has designed this tool to solve customer issues related to trace quality.
