Description
The Nikomed Trace 1 Wet Gel Monitoring Electrodes is a disposable wet gel monitoring electrode line built for stress, Holter and cardiac catheterization work from Nikomed, built for clean signals during stress testing, Holter monitoring and cardiac catheterization as the Trace 1 wet gel electrode. When the day turns on an electrode that stays seated and readable while the patient moves, sweats and is monitored for hours, stress labs, Holter services and cardiac cath labs reach for the Trace 1 wet gel electrode first. Stocking the Trace 1 wet gel electrode removes one more small decision from an already full shift.
- Patented Kidney Shape – The 6550 and 6559 kidney shapes nest within each other, giving faster and more exact placement with less material per electrode.
- Round Stress 6500 – The 50 mm round foam electrode is the line's stress test standard, three to a liner card.
- Butterfly 6560 – The 60 by 38 mm butterfly spreads adhesion across a wider footprint for Holter and event monitoring wear.
- Wet Gel Contact – Wet gel gives immediate low-impedance contact, the reason these configurations carry the stress and Holter work.
- Super-Tack Grades – The kidney and butterfly configurations use the maker's super-tack diaphoretic adhesive grades for sweating patients.
About This Trace 1 Wet Gel Monitoring Electrodes
The trace 1 Wet Gel Monitoring Electrodes comes from Nikomed as part number the Trace 1 wet gel configurations 6500, 6550, 6559 and 6560, with the package configuration stated plainly on this listing. For this Trace 1 wet gel electrode, the line is built around Nikomed's patented kidney shape, protected by US patents D478,668 and 7,079,884, which lets electrodes nest within each other for faster, more exact lead placement. On the job, staff nest the kidney shapes along the chest for placement, then rely on the wet gel and enhanced adhesive through exercise, recovery or a full Holter day. It is sold as listed: one box of 600 electrodes in the configuration selected, sold per box. Because the configuration of the Trace 1 wet gel configurations 6500, 6550, 6559 and 6560 never changes between orders, par levels are easy to keep accurate.
Features and Benefits
Shapes That Work Under Motion
- Patented Kidney Shape – The 6550 and 6559 kidney shapes nest within each other, giving faster and more exact placement with less material per electrode.
- Round Stress 6500 – The 50 mm round foam electrode is the line's stress test standard, three to a liner card.
- Butterfly 6560 – The 60 by 38 mm butterfly spreads adhesion across a wider footprint for Holter and event monitoring wear.
Gel and Adhesion
- Wet Gel Contact – Wet gel gives immediate low-impedance contact, the reason these configurations carry the stress and Holter work.
- Super-Tack Grades – The kidney and butterfly configurations use the maker's super-tack diaphoretic adhesive grades for sweating patients.
- Carbon Stud Option – The 6559's carbon stud is X-ray radiolucent, so monitoring continues through imaging without swapping electrodes.

Why Choose This Trace 1 Wet Gel Monitoring Electrodes
What separates the Trace 1 wet gel electrode from look-alike listings is accountability: one manufacturer, one part number, one stated package. For this Trace 1 wet gel electrode, the 6559 swaps the steel stud for a carbon stud, making that configuration X-ray radiolucent for monitoring during imaging. Buyers who have been burned by substitutions tend to notice the difference in the Trace 1 wet gel configurations 6500, 6550, 6559 and 6560.
- Placement Speed – Nesting kidney shapes line up along the chest in one pass, shortening stress lab setup between patients.
- Signal Under Stress – Wet gel and super-tack adhesive hold the trace together at peak exercise, where studies are won or repeated.
- Imaging Without Swaps – The carbon stud 6559 stays on through X-ray, so cath and nuclear work keeps one electrode set.
- Patented, Not Generic – The kidney geometry is Nikomed's own patented design, a differentiator no commodity electrode listing can match.
