QuaTrode – Electrodes Simplified
Integrated 4 individual electrodes into a single unit
Sometimes Less IS More
QuaTrode is our innovative electrode solution that combines four individual electrodes into a single unit via a common top layer. Inspired by reports (and complaints!) from our interferential therapy (IF) customers that they struggle with patients not properly placing electrodes in the home settings, QuaTrode eliminates the problem of placing electrodes too close, too far or not properly crossing the channels. Of course it is still possible to incorrectly connect QuaTrode to the lead wires, but we’ve even addressed that with our color coded lead wire option.
Single durable design makes application and removal easy.
TheraTrode Quality
QuaTrode is manufactured using the same materials and processes as our incredibly durable and excellent performing TheraTrode electrodes. The same re-apply performance, electrical conductivity and industry leading physical strength is present in all models of QuaTrode so you can continue to rely on our electrodes performing well in your practice.
Busy Clinics Love QuaTrode
QuaTrode can be a real time saver and the simplicity of application means less experienced staff can be trusted to administer e-stim to patients. We’re regularly hear how QuaTrode is saving busy clinic owners and managers precious time.
“We’ve got a very, very busy clinic and that’s great, I’m happy, but time seems to constantly be an issue. I’ve got PT and PTAs running around grabbing hot towels, setting timers, cleaning tables, working with patients, completing paperwork… it’s nuts. It was immediately obvious that I could shave some time off here and there by using QuaTrode – no need for my staff to place each electrode perfectly spaced, especially with IF. We can just slap a QuaTrode down and know things are set correctly.” – Mike Gerner, manager Fast-Turn PT
