Description
Skintact FS-VB01 Stress Test ECG Electrodes use an offset snap connector that keeps the lead wire connection off the center of the electrode, a layout that resists the tugging and pressure artifacts of exercise testing. Two gel builds are offered on the same 53 mm foam format with enhanced adhesion: a solid gel pack of 300 and an Aqua-Wet liquid gel box of 1200.
- Offset snap connector – The off-center connection reduces direct pressure on the contact point and helps the lead lie flatter during movement
- Two gel options – Choose solid gel in a 300-count pack or Aqua-Wet liquid gel in a 1200-count box on the same format
- Enhanced adhesion foam – PE foam with reinforced adhesive is made to hold through perspiration during stress protocols
- Elongated 53 mm shape – The rectangular format spreads adhesion along the chest for active procedures
Main Description
The offset connector is the defining idea of this electrode. By moving the snap away from the center of the contact area, the connection avoids sitting directly over the gel and sensor, so pressure from clothing or a hand does not translate straight into the recording. Leonhard Lang describes its premium offset electrodes as a design that also avoids squeezing gel onto the electrode surface during connection.
Both configurations share the 53 mm elongated PE foam format with enhanced adhesion, the reinforced adhesive family Leonhard Lang builds for stress testing. The FSVB011 presents a solid gel build at 35 x 53 mm in pouches of 30 with ten pouches per box. The FSVB01 uses Aqua-Wet liquid gel at 36 x 53 mm in a 1200-count box for higher-volume stress labs.
Aqua-Wet liquid gel reduces skin impedance quickly, which suits protocols that start soon after placement. Solid gel offers a tidy application with no free liquid, which some departments prefer for Holter and longer stress-adjacent wear. Either way, the snap studs follow the durable stainless steel format used across the Skintact snap range.
The maker lists stress testing as the primary use, and the liquid-tight foam construction also fits echocardiogram work. Both configurations are single-use disposables, and Leonhard Lang states its disposable electrodes meet the ANSI/AAMI EC12 standard. Stocking one format in two gel builds lets a lab standardize placement technique while choosing gel by preference.
Features and Benefits
Offset Connection
- Off-center snap – Keeps connection pressure away from the sensor center for a quieter trace during movement
- No gel squeeze-out – The offset layout avoids pushing gel across the surface when the lead is attached
Format and Gels
- Elongated foam format – The 53 mm rectangular foam body spreads enhanced adhesion across the chest
- Solid or liquid gel – Solid gel 300-count packs or Aqua-Wet liquid gel 1200-count boxes on one shared format
- Liquid-tight foam – Impermeable backing also suits echocardiogram procedures

Why Choose This Product
Motion artifact is the tax every stress lab pays, and connector geometry is part of the bill. The offset snap attacks artifact at its mechanical source while the reinforced adhesive handles sweat and movement. With two gel builds on one format, the lab picks its gel without retraining placement.
- Quieter traces under motion – Offset connection reduces pressure artifact at the sensor during exercise
- Gel choice without changeover – Solid and liquid gel builds share one format and one placement technique
- Adhesion that survives sweat – Enhanced adhesive foam is built for perspiring patients on treadmills and bikes
- Pack sizes for both scales – A 300-count pack for smaller programs and a 1200-count box for busy labs

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an offset snap connector?
An offset snap places the lead wire connection away from the center of the electrode instead of directly over the gel and sensor. That reduces pressure on the contact point and helps limit motion artifact during stress testing.
What is the difference between FSVB011 and FSVB01?
Both share the 53 mm foam format with enhanced adhesion and offset snap. FSVB011 uses solid gel at 35 x 53 mm and comes 30 per pouch with ten pouches per box, while FSVB01 uses Aqua-Wet liquid gel at 36 x 53 mm and comes 1200 per box.
Can these electrodes be used for Holter monitoring?
The MedPlus listing for this family covers stress, Holter, echo and monitoring use. The enhanced adhesion foam format is designed to hold through extended active wear.
Why choose solid gel over liquid gel?
Solid gel gives a tidy application with no free liquid and is often preferred for longer wear. Aqua-Wet liquid gel reduces skin impedance very quickly, which suits protocols that begin soon after placement.
How many electrodes are in each configuration?
FSVB011 totals 300 electrodes per box in ten pouches of 30. FSVB01 totals 1200 electrodes per box.
