This silicone cable is a specialized ECG (Electrocardiogram) lead wire, which is used to connect ECG electrodes to an ECG machine for the purpose of monitoring heart activity.
- OD5.2MM: The lead wire has an outer diameter of 5.2 millimeters.
- Low Noise: The design minimizes electrical noise, ensuring accurate ECG readings. This low noise characteristic is essential for obtaining clear and reliable ECG signals.
- 5 Lead: The ECG lead wire includes five individual leads, capturing signals from different body positions to provide a comprehensive view of heart activity.
- Silicone: The wire is coated with a silicone jacket. Silicone is flexible, durable, and biocompatible, making it safe for extended skin contact.
- Semi-Conductive PVC Low Noise Layer: PVC, in a semi-conductive form, provides both insulation and noise reduction.
Benefits and Applications:
- High Signal Integrity: The combination of tinned copper conductors and low noise design ensures high-quality ECG signal transmission with minimal interference.
- Durability: Silicone and PVC materials offer excellent durability and flexibility, making the wires suitable for repeated use in clinical settings.
- Patient Comfort: The silicone jacket is soft and flexible, providing comfort for patients during ECG monitoring.
Typical Uses:
- Clinical ECG Monitoring: In hospitals and clinics for routine heart monitoring.
- Ambulatory ECG: For patients who need to wear an ECG monitor while going about their daily activities.
- Holter Monitoring: For continuous monitoring over a period of 24 to 48 hours.
- Stress Testing: During exercise stress tests to monitor the heart’s response to physical activity.
