Disposable Adult-Length Lead Wires 

Challenge

 

An electrocardiogram (ECG) OEM needed an adult-length pre-wired electrode.

Stringent new Medicare requirements for coverage of infections created a market demand for disposable ECG lead wires

Design required a “low-profile” assembly for ease of application and maximum patient comfort

Solution

 

Minnesota Wire drew on its decades-long expertise with neonatal ECG electrodes to produce a robust and inexpensive design.

Engineered for zero-failure, one-time use

New adult-application length

Low-profile design using a highly conductive plastic tab

Eliminated the possibility of cross infection from patient to patient

Unique sonic welding process

Radiotranslucent design
