Description
Skintact Monitoring ECG Electrodes bring five proven Skintact formats together for bedside and telemetry monitoring, from a 30 mm pediatric solid gel electrode to a 60 mm microporous tape model for longer wear. Backings range across foam, clear tape, cloth and microporous tape, so the electrode can be matched to skin type, wear time and the need to see the skin under the electrode.
- Five monitoring formats – Pediatric, oval foam, clear tape, cloth and microporous tape models in one family listing
- Solid and Aqua-Tac gels – Solid gel for the pediatric and foam models, Aqua-Tac solid adhesive gel for the tape and cloth models
- Skin visibility option – The clear tape CT-601 lets staff watch the skin under the electrode without removing it
- Bulk monitoring packs – Formats are supplied 1200 or 1500 per box for ward and telemetry stocking
Main Description
Monitoring electrodes stay on the patient far longer than resting electrodes, so adhesion, skin tolerance and signal stability over hours matter more than first-second pickup alone. This family groups the Skintact monitoring range that Leonhard Lang builds for that job. The FS-521 oval foam model uses enhanced adhesion and a liquid-tight foam backing that the maker rates for short-term monitoring and operating room use.
The CT-601 and W-601 share a 50 mm format and Aqua-Tac solid adhesive gel, differing in backing: clear tape where staff want to see the contact site, and soft cloth where breathability supports longer wear. Aqua-Tac is Leonhard Lang solid adhesive gel, formulated for quick pickup plus the full-surface skin contact that keeps long recordings stable. The T-60 steps up to a 60 mm microporous tape electrode with Aqua-Wet gel for patients who need a larger contact area and a breathable backing.
For pediatric monitoring, the F-301 scales the format down to 30 mm with solid gel, keeping the electrode proportionate to a small chest. Every model in the family is a snap-connection disposable, and the maker states that Skintact electrodes meet the ANSI/AAMI EC12 standard for disposable ECG electrodes. Stainless steel studs are used on the standard snap models for durable, low-impedance connections.
Buying the family as one listing simplifies ward stocking: the same order covers pediatric, standard adult, high-visibility and long-wear needs. Boxes of 1200 to 1500 electrodes match the consumption rate of monitored beds. Single-use application between patients supports routine infection-control practice.
Features and Benefits
Backing Choices
- PE foam, enhanced adhesion – The FS-521 backing is impermeable to liquids, suiting short-term monitoring and operating room use
- Clear tape – The CT-601 backing makes skin reactions easy to spot quickly because the contact area stays visible
- Cloth and microporous tape – Breathable backings on the W-601 and T-60 support patient comfort during longer monitoring
Gel Performance
- Solid gel – Used on the pediatric F-301 and the FS-521 for dependable contact in a compact format
- Aqua-Tac solid adhesive gel – Combines quick pickup with full skin surface contact for stable long-term recordings
- Aqua-Wet liquid gel – The T-60 liquid gel reduces skin impedance quickly for a prompt start to monitoring

Why Choose This Product
Monitored patients differ in age, skin condition and wear time, and a single electrode rarely serves all of them well. This family lets a unit standardize on one maker while still choosing foam, clear tape, cloth or microporous tape for each situation. The pediatric model keeps small patients on the same system as the adult wards.
- Right backing per patient – Four backing materials cover visibility, breathability and liquid resistance needs
- Stable long recordings – Aqua-Tac full-contact gel supports signal quality across extended monitoring
- Pediatric included – A true 30 mm pediatric format avoids cutting down adult electrodes for children
- One maker across the unit – A single family covers the monitored bed base, simplifying training and reordering
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which model should I choose for long-term monitoring?
The W-601 cloth model and the T-60 microporous tape model use breathable backings that suit longer wear. The W-601 is 50 mm with Aqua-Tac gel, and the T-60 is a larger 60 mm format with Aqua-Wet gel.
Why would I pick the clear tape model?
The CT-601 clear tape backing lets staff see the skin under the electrode during wear. That makes redness or irritation easy to detect early without removing the electrode and interrupting the recording.
Is there a pediatric option in this family?
Yes. The F-301 is a 30 mm solid gel electrode sized for pediatric monitoring, supplied 1500 per box like the adult foam, tape and cloth models.
What gel does the oval foam model use?
The FS-521 uses solid gel on a PE foam backing with enhanced adhesion. Leonhard Lang rates the liquid-tight foam format for short-term monitoring and for use in the operating room.
How many electrodes come in a box?
The F-301, FS-521, CT-601 and W-601 are each supplied 1500 per box. The T-60 is supplied 1200 per box.
