Axelgaard Manufacturing Electrotherapy Electrodes

Axelgaard Manufacturing is a recognized name in self-adhesive electrodes, and this collection centers on their ValuTrode line — reusable electrodes built for TENS, NMES, and FES units. Whether you're managing chronic pain at home, running a physical therapy clinic, or restocking a rehab department, these are the consumables that make electrical stimulation therapy work reliably session after session.

The core question most buyers have is which size and shape to order. Axelgaard covers the common needs: 2-inch round electrodes like the CF5000 for smaller muscle groups and precise placement, 2 x 2-inch squares (CF5050) and 2 x 3-1/2-inch rectangles (CF5090) for versatile everyday use, and larger 3 x 5-inch rectangles (CF7515) for broad coverage over the back or larger muscles. The 2-3/4-inch round CF7000 sits comfortably in between.

Most of these use Axelgaard's cloth-and-gel construction, which conforms to the body and holds a durable multi-use adhesive that stays tacky through repeated applications — good for stretching supply budgets and reducing waste. If you have sensitive skin or need extra cushioning, the foam-and-gel CFF200 round electrode offers a softer backing while delivering the same conductive performance.

A few practical notes buyers ask about: all ValuTrode electrodes are reusable by a single patient, work across standard TENS, NMES, and FES devices with pin-style lead wires, and should be stored on their liner in a resealable pouch to preserve gel adhesion. Replace them when the gel no longer sticks evenly or conductivity drops.
