Description
Skintact Diagnostic Resting ECG Electrodes cover the two resting ECG formats Leonhard Lang builds for everyday 12-lead work, pairing a foam wet gel electrode for standard adult recordings with a small pediatric tab electrode for young patients. Both designs come from the Skintact Easitab family, with adhesive-free grip edges that make placement and removal clean and controlled.
- Two resting formats – Foam wet gel electrodes for adults and a 34 x 14 mm tab electrode sized for pediatric patients
- Aqua-Wet liquid gel – The FS-WA00 wet gel lowers skin impedance quickly, so the trace settles fast at the start of a resting study
- Easitab handling – Adhesive-free pull-off areas keep fingers off the adhesive and support clean removal after the exam
- Trade packaging – Supplied in boxes of 500 foam electrodes or five 100-count pouches of pediatric tabs
Main Description
Resting ECG is a high-volume, repeat-all-day task, and the electrode has to deliver a stable baseline within seconds of application. The foam model in this family uses Leonhard Lang Aqua-Wet liquid gel, whose aqueous formula reduces skin impedance quickly even when skin preparation is brief. The pediatric tab model uses a solid gel on a slim 34 x 14 mm paper and PET backing that sits comfortably on small chests.
Both formats belong to the Skintact Easitab line, which is built around a soft feel on the skin and a secure hold for the duration of the recording. Adhesive-free grip zones let staff position each electrode without touching the adhesive surface, which protects adhesion and keeps the gel area clean. After the study, the same grip zones support a controlled peel that patients tolerate well.
Leonhard Lang designs and builds its own electrode production machines in Innsbruck, Austria, and the Skintact range is manufactured under that in-house process. The company states that its electrodes meet the ANSI/AAMI EC12 standard for disposable ECG electrodes. That standard covers the electrical performance a resting electrode needs for diagnostic-quality recordings.
Facilities can stock one family for both adult and pediatric resting work instead of splitting orders across brands. The foam electrodes arrive 500 to a box for busy ECG departments, while the pediatric tabs come in pouches of 100 with five pouches per box for lower-volume pediatric areas. Both are single-use disposables, which supports standard infection-control practice between patients.
Features and Benefits
Gel Systems
- Aqua-Wet liquid gel – Wets the skin contact area quickly for a fast, stable signal pickup at the start of the exam
- Solid gel tab – The pediatric tab uses solid gel that stays in place on small torsos without running or smearing
- Ag/AgCl sensor – Silver and silver chloride sensor systems are used across the Skintact range for low offset and stable baselines
Handling and Comfort
- Adhesive-free grip edges – Staff can hold and place the electrode without contaminating the adhesive ring
- Soft Easitab feel – The backing materials are selected to feel soft against the skin during application and wear
- Easy-open pouches – Pouches tear open quickly and the manufacturer notes they can be reclosed by folding after opening

Why Choose This Product
Resting ECG quality starts at the skin, and this family covers the two patient groups a department sees most with gel systems matched to each. The foam wet gel model settles quickly for adult throughput, while the small solid gel tab respects pediatric anatomy and comfort.
- Faster first traces – Aqua-Wet gel cuts the wait for a stable baseline, which shortens each resting study
- One family, two populations – Adult foam and pediatric tab formats stock under a single listing for simpler purchasing
- Cleaner handling – Grip edges keep adhesive untouched until placement, protecting the hold through the recording
- Maker-direct design – Leonhard Lang designs its own production equipment, a depth of process control few electrode brands match
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two configurations?
The FS-WA00 is a foam electrode with Aqua-Wet liquid gel supplied 500 per box for general resting ECG work. The RT-14 is a slim 34 x 14 mm tab electrode with solid gel, sized for pediatric patients and supplied in pouches of 100 with five pouches per box.
How quickly does the wet gel electrode produce a usable trace?
Aqua-Wet is a liquid gel formulated for fast signal pickup. Its aqueous composition reduces skin impedance quickly, so a stable trace is available shortly after application even with minimal skin preparation.
Are these electrodes reusable?
No. Both configurations are single-use disposable electrodes, and a fresh set should be applied for each patient and each study.
Which standard do Skintact electrodes meet?
Leonhard Lang states that its disposable ECG electrodes meet the ANSI/AAMI EC12 standard, which sets performance requirements for disposable ECG electrodes used in diagnostic recording.
How are the pediatric tabs packaged?
The RT-14 tabs come 100 to a pouch and five pouches to a box, for 500 electrodes per box. The pouch format keeps smaller quantities protected until they are needed.
