Description
The Axelgaard PALS Electrodes bring Axelgaard's patented electrode engineering to everyday stimulation therapy. One of Axelgaard’s first product lines, this design changed what clinicians expect from a stimulation pad.
The patented stainless steel knit fabric design allows multiple applications while staying flexible on the skin. That flexibility lets the pad conform to curved body surfaces where stiff electrodes lift at the corners. A patented multi-layer MultiStick hydrogel pairs with the fabric to disperse current evenly across the contact area. Even dispersion is what removes the stinging, edge biting, and hot spots patients report with lesser pads. Rounds, ovals, squares, and rectangles cover everything from small joints to large muscle groups.
Features and Benefits
Conductive fabric design
- Stainless steel knit fabric – the woven conductor flexes with the body instead of creasing or lifting.
- MultiStick hydrogel layers – the multi-layer gel keeps adhesion and conductivity consistent over repeat uses.
- Full surface current spread – current disperses evenly, eliminating stinging, edge biting, and hot spots.
Fit and formats
- Four shape families – round, oval, square, and rectangle shapes match the treatment area instead of forcing one pad everywhere.
- Dual lead rectangle option – the 2 inch by 4 inch dual lead variant serves two channel setups from one pad placement.
- Case packaging for clinics – packs of 4 (or 2 on the largest sizes) with 10 packs per case keep therapy rooms stocked.

Why Choose Axelgaard PALS Electrodes?
This is the original PALS design that built Axelgaard’s reputation in neurostimulation. Clinics keep ordering it because the knit fabric solves the two failures they see most: pads that will not bend and current that bites.
- Conformity on real bodies – the knit fabric follows knees, shoulders, and backs where flat pads peel away.
- Comfort patients notice – even current spread means fewer complaints and better session completion.
- A size for every placement – thirteen stocked variants mean the right shape is on the shelf, not on backorder.
- The original PALS line – Axelgaard’s first electrode family, still made in the USA to the same patented design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What stimulators do these electrodes work with?
They are lead wire neurostimulation electrodes for TENS, EMS, and related stimulation devices that accept standard pin connectors.
How is the knit fabric different from film electrodes?
The stainless steel knit fabric is flexible and conforms to body surfaces, while the conductive layer distributes current across the full pad area.
How is a case packed?
Most variants pack 4 electrodes per pack and 10 packs per case (40 electrodes). The largest rectangles and ovals pack 2 per pack, 20 per case.
Can one electrode be used more than once?
Yes. The design allows multiple applications to the skin when the gel surface is kept clean and covered between uses.
Which shape should I choose?
Rounds and ovals suit joints and curved areas, squares cover general placements, and rectangles span larger muscle groups such as the back and thigh.
