Consumables
The silver-silver chloride electrodes are the part of the instrument that is in contact with the s in by
ma ing electrical contact between the s in and the sensor. Silver-silver chloride electrodes are the best
electrodes for recording EMG signals. The electrodes are disposable and should be replaced after each
use.
iWorx offers three types of silver-silver chloride electrodes differing based on the width of the adhesive
material and position of the electrode in it.

Proper s in preparation is important to get a good signal and avoid artifacts.
•Before applying electrodes, ma e sure the s in surface is clean and dry:
•Abrade the s in with an abrasive cream, such as NuPrep, to remove dead s in.
•Alternatively, you can also clean s in with an alcohol wipe and let it dry, but this is not as
efficient as the abrasive cream.
Tips:
It is easier to connect the electrodes to the snap cable before placing the electrode on the subject.
