Description
The Nikomed Trace 1 Solid Gel Monitoring Electrodes, the Trace 1 solid gel electrode, is a disposable solid gel monitoring electrode line in clear tape, foam and cloth backings from Nikomed, made for dependable short and long term patient monitoring across care settings. Monitoring teams in ICU, telemetry and step-down units reach for the Trace 1 solid gel electrode when an electrode that holds its signal through a full monitoring run without constant re-prepping matters more than improvising with the wrong supply. The Trace 1 solid gel electrode keeps the routine simple, so attention stays on the work itself instead of the equipment.
- Clear Tape 3014 – The transparent tape backing lets staff watch the skin under the electrode during long term monitoring.
- Foam 3015 and 3015-3S – Foam backings cushion the site, and the 3015-3S thumbnail shape comes three to a strip for fast placement.
- Cloth 3016 – The non-woven cloth backing is the maker's recommendation for long term ICU and CCU wear.
- Dual Snap 6520 – The 6520 carries two snaps on one 32 by 45 mm foam electrode, so a second signal needs no second placement.
- Ag/AgCl Sensor – The silver silver chloride sensor is the chemistry Nikomed uses across the line for clear, accurate recordings.
About This Trace 1 Solid Gel Monitoring Electrodes
Nikomed supplies this trace 1 Solid Gel Monitoring Electrodes under part number the Trace 1 solid gel configurations 3014, 3015, 3016, 3015-3S and 6520, so what is described here is exactly what arrives.

Why Choose This Trace 1 Solid Gel Monitoring Electrodes
Generic alternatives make the same promises, yet the Trace 1 solid gel electrode pairs them with Nikomed quality control and a published specification sheet. For this Trace 1 solid gel electrode, the 30 series publishes its electrical performance on a technical data sheet, typical AC impedance of 60 ohms against a 2,000 ohm AAMI limit. For a supply room stocking the Trace 1 solid gel configurations 3014, 3015, 3016, 3015-3S and 6520, that record matters.
- Fewer Signal Dropouts – Enhanced adhesive plus solid gel keeps contact through the run, so alarms reflect the patient, not the electrode.
- Right Backing per Unit – Tape for skin checks, cloth for long wear and foam for general monitoring let one line serve every floor.
- Dual Snap Efficiency – The 6520 reads two signals from one site, halving placements where dual monitoring is ordered.
- Spec Sheet Accountability – Each configuration carries a published technical data sheet with measured electricals, not a catalog claim.
