Transcutaneous electrical stimulation electrodes are reusable, non-invasive devices designed to deliver therapeutic electrical currents through the skin for pain relief or muscle stimulation. Clinically, they’re used in treatments like TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) for chronic pain, EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) for rehabilitation, or CES (cranial electrotherapy stimulation) for mood or sleep disorders.
These electrodes are typically regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They’re often supplied as part of a larger system (e.g., with a stimulator) and may require adherence to safety standards for electrical conductivity, adhesive performance, and biocompatibility to ensure safe, repeated use.
