Uni-Patch Electrodes & Therapy Products

If you use a TENS, NMES, or FES unit for pain relief or muscle stimulation, the electrodes you choose determine how well the therapy works — and how comfortable it feels on your skin. Cardinal Health's Uni-Patch line delivers dependable conductivity, secure adhesion, and reusability across a range of shapes and sizes, so you can match the pad to the muscle group and the treatment area.

The self-adhesive options are what most home users reach for. The Uni-Patch Choice stimulating electrodes (EP85775) offer a 2-inch round, carbon-film design for general use, while the Re-Ply gel/tricot electrodes come in 2 x 2 inch squares (EP84910) and 2 x 4 inch rectangles (EP85040) — the larger sizes spread current over broader areas like the lower back or thigh. The S-Series self-adhering pads (EP85340, EP85360) are built for repeated cycles of use, and the Specialty Carbon Rubber pin electrodes (EC89270) suit units that use snap or pin lead wires with a separate gel or sponge.

A few things worth knowing before you buy: reusable electrodes last longest when you replace the backing after each session and store them on the liner, and choosing the right size matters more than choosing the largest — a pad sized to the target muscle keeps stimulation focused and comfortable. Shape helps too; round pads work well on joints and smaller muscles, rectangles on flat, larger surfaces.

Beyond stimulation, Uni-Patch also covers hot and cold therapy. The reusable Hot/Cold Therapy Packs (MH73912, 5 x 10.5 inch) handle everyday aches and swelling, and the Cervical Cold Pack (MH71097) is contoured at 23 inches to wrap the neck and shoulders — useful after strains or for tension relief.
