Vermed, Inc., manufacturer of quality cardiac monitoring and diagnostic electrodes, introduces Tender-Trode Plus, a new line of electrodes and peripherals designed for the specific needs of the NICU environment

The Tender Trode Plus line of electrodes are designed with a unique hydrocolloid barrier to protect the hydrogel in the high humidity environment of the incubator. These electrodes will provide extended wear time of 6 days in an incubator. Designed with a gentle, hypoallergenic cloth and adhesives, the TenderTrode Plus electrodes will insure patient comfort and quality tracings. Tender Trode Plus electrodes are also radiolucent

Tender-Trode Plus saves nursing time and resources with fewer electrode changes, and also is available as a Mini Prewired ECG Sensor. This new micro-size sensor can be used on limbs or body, and safely secures to limbs without a cumbersome band or strap that could reduce circulation. This is the smallest electrode available on the market today

The Mini Prewired Sensor uses the same gentle hydrocolloid and hydrogel adhesives, which are safe on neonatal skin.

Other neonatal products, both latex-free and hypoallergenic, include:

-- Pre-cut Sticky Strips, made with new silicone adhesive for painless removal, and cloth material that conforms comfortably to difficult body contours. Sticky strip can be used to fasten feeding tubes, IV lines etc…

-- Gentle Release Probe Covers, offering painless removal, reduce discomfort and irritation on delicate skin, and are designed with hydrophobic material.
