Super quality hydrogels require a variety of properties to ensure their effectiveness, safety and comfort in electrotherapy, hyperthermia or other therapeutic applications. When selecting the hydrogel suitable for making the physiotherapy electrode, it is necessary to consider its conductivity, adhesion, biocompatibility, durability and other characteristics ,
1. Conductive hydrogel
Features: conductivity is the core requirement of the physiotherapy electrode sheet, and the hydrogel needs to have good ionic or electronic conductivity to ensure the effective transmission of electrical signals.
2. High adhesion hydrogel
Features: The electrode sheet needs to be tightly fitted to the skin to ensure the stability of electrical signal transmission and treatment effect. High adhesion hydrogels reduce shedding and improve comfort.
3. Biocompatible hydrogel
Features: The physiotherapy electrode is directly in contact with the skin, and the hydrogel must be non-toxic, non-irritating, and not easy to cause allergic reactions.
4. Durability and stability
Features: Hydrogels need to have a certain mechanical strength and durability to withstand multiple uses and stretching.
5. Moisture and comfort
Features: The hydrogel should be kept moist to avoid loss of adhesion and conductivity after drying, and should provide a comfortable wearing experience.
6. Easy to process and form
Hydrogels need to be easy to process into the desired shape and size to accommodate different physiotherapy equipment
7. Long-term stability
Hydrogels need to maintain stable performance during storage and use to avoid deterioration or failure.
