Definitions
- Invention relates to electrodes and products that can be worn, such as kneepad, wristband, underbust integrated textile electrodes to be used together with TENS devices in transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) treatment in cases such as osteoarthritis, romatoid artritis, back pain, chronic pain caused by various deseases, post paralyze treatments, post amputation pain, migraine/headache, after multiple rib breaking, acute-post traumatic pain and neuropathic pain.
- TENS transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
- TENS electrodes and TENS devices should be used together.
- TENS devices available in the market are divided into two, namely, clinic and portable types.
- Today, electrodes available in the market can be classified as multiple usable electrodes or disposable electrodes.
- General electrode types are the most commonly type of electrodes. These electrodes are also called non-sterile type reusable electrodes made from various materials. Fabric coated metal electrodes, carbon electrodes and self-adhesive hydro gel electrodes can be given as examples of general electrode type.
- Fabric coated metal electrodes In order to provide better conductivity when such electrodes are used, the fabric is to be wetted with water or gel and fixed to skin surface by elastic bands. The fabric on electrode surface should be constantly wet in order to provide homogenous current distribution on electrode surface when using such electrodes. Even when fabric is fully dry, metal plate will be insulated from skin surface but dry areas will become not conducting current while current from wet areas in drying process continue to transmit current. This will cause irregular current transmission and result in skin burns in certain areas. Because of such disadvantages, fabric coated metal electrodes started to give way to carbon electrodes in mid 1980s. Carbon electrodes: Carbon electrodes’ resistance is higher than metal and thus high current construction in small areas is prevented.
- water or gel should be used as interface material for currents higher than 10 miliamperes.
- the part of skin where electrode will be placed should be cleaned gently with soap and water and dried. If electrodes contact skin for long time (longer than four hours) there is drying risk of gel. In addition, during treatments lasting weeks or months some patients have risk to develop allergy against the gel used.
- Self-adhesive hydro gel electrodes It is the electrode type preferred the most for TENS applications today. When these types of electrodes are used, risk of developing skin irritation is lower when compared to carbon electrodes and conventional gel use. Self- adhesive hydro gel electrode producers indicated that the electrodes can be used for average 20 times.
- TENS treatment is typically applied to the treatment area where body nerves are stimulated with electrical current by use of conductive silica gel hydro pads.
- TENS electrodes made from conductive silica gel materials reduces skin resistance.
- sticky feature causes uncomfort feeling.
- Non-washable and not being hygienic in case of repetitive use are other disadvantages.
- TENS treatment is applied by use of clinic type TENS devices in hospitals or physical treatment centres by clinicians or by use of portable medical devices at home by patients.
- Electrodes other than single use sterile electrodes used for post surgery are designed for general use and can be used for multiple times. Such electrodes can be used again as well as used for different patients each time. Cleaning and maintenance of such electrodes after each use must be made in proper way. Otherwise, hygiene problems are likely to occur. Also in order to provide optimal contact between skin and electrode, bands used to fix electro conductive intermediate agents and carbon electrodes are likely to cause allergic reactions for particularly patients of long time treatment. If the patients apply treatment at home, settings to be used in TENS devices before initial use and information about electrode placements should be taken from physician/physiotherapists. However, failure to place electrodes in correct position decreases treatment effectiveness.

Background of the Invention
For applicability of TENS treatment, TENS electrodes and TENS devices should be used together. TENS devices available in the market are divided into two, namely, clinic and portable types. Today, electrodes available in the market can be classified as multiple usable electrodes or disposable electrodes. General electrode types are the most commonly type of electrodes. These electrodes are also called non-sterile type reusable electrodes made from various materials. Fabric coated metal electrodes, carbon electrodes and self-adhesive hydro gel electrodes can be given as examples of general electrode type.
Fabric coated metal electrodes: In order to provide better conductivity when such electrodes are used, the fabric is to be wetted with water or gel and fixed to skin surface by elastic bands. The fabric on electrode surface should be constantly wet in order to provide homogenous current distribution on electrode surface when using such electrodes. Even when fabric is fully dry, metal plate will be insulated from skin surface but dry areas will become not conducting current while current from wet areas in drying process continue to transmit current. This will cause irregular current transmission and result in skin burns in certain areas. Because of such disadvantages, fabric coated metal electrodes started to give way to carbon electrodes in mid 1980s.
Carbon electrodes: Carbon electrodes’ resistance is higher than metal and thus high current construction in small areas is prevented. However, water or gel should be used as interface material for currents higher than 10 miliamperes. Before applying gel, the part of skin where electrode will be placed should be cleaned gently with soap and water and dried. If electrodes contact skin for long time (longer than four hours) there is drying risk of gel. In addition, during treatments lasting weeks or months some patients have risk to develop allergy against the gel used.
Self-adhesive hydro gel electrodes: It is the electrode type preferred the most for TENS applications today. When these types of electrodes are used, risk of developing skin irritation is lower when compared to carbon electrodes and conventional gel use. Self- adhesive hydro gel electrode producers indicated that the electrodes can be used for average 20 times.
TENS treatment is typically applied to the treatment area where body nerves are stimulated with electrical current by use of conductive silica gel hydro pads. TENS electrodes made from conductive silica gel materials reduces skin resistance. However, sticky feature causes uncomfort feeling. Non-washable and not being hygienic in case of repetitive use are other disadvantages.
In the related art, TENS treatment is applied by use of clinic type TENS devices in hospitals or physical treatment centres by clinicians or by use of portable medical devices at home by patients.
While applying treatment at hospital or physical treatment centres, carbon electrodes or self-adhesive hydro gel electrodes are used generally. Electrodes other than single use sterile electrodes used for post surgery are designed for general use and can be used for multiple times. Such electrodes can be used again as well as used for different patients each time. Cleaning and maintenance of such electrodes after each use must be made in proper way. Otherwise, hygiene problems are likely to occur. Also in order to provide optimal contact between skin and electrode, bands used to fix electro conductive intermediate agents and carbon electrodes are likely to cause allergic reactions for particularly patients of long time treatment.
