Vermed, a manufacturer of quality cardiac monitoring and diagnostic electrodes, introduces a new line of Defibrillation Pads with features new and unique to the market.

Vermed pads use a new Universal Connector System (UCS) that allows standardization of the defib pads throughout any facility. This is a tremendous step toward patient safety and industry compliance.

With a three-year shelf life, the Defibrillation Pads feature extra-long, 60-inch lead wires for ease of use, a smaller pad size for easier placement without crowding, a larger conductor plate to disperse energy more effectively, a pliable substrate to conform to all patient body types, and peel-pouch packaging for quick access.

The pads, including those for pediatric use, feature a quick-reference color-coded system for accurate placement, radiolucent and radiotransparent styles that bar interference with imaging systems. Leads Out packaging also is available.

"The ability to standardize defib pads throughout the facility is a great step toward helping our Customers provide the safest patient experience in emergency situations," says Art Keating, VP Sales and Marketing. Vermed also offers a FREE conversion service which will convert Vermed's UCS program for the facility.

Vermed is one of the pioneers in ECG electrodes and the manufacturer of ECG, ICG and diagnostic and monitoring electrodes.
