Proper skin preparation is essential for obtaining accurate readings during Holter monitoring. Ensuring the skin is clean and free from oils and debris enhances electrode adhesion and signal quality. Here are some recommended products to assist in effective skin preparation:
- 3M Transpore Clear Porous Tape, 1" Width
A versatile, easy-to-tear tape that allows for secure placement of electrodes and dressings, ensuring they stay in place during monitoring. - 3M Red Dot Trace Prep Tape
Designed to gently abrade the skin, this prep tape enhances electrode contact by reducing skin impedance, leading to clearer signal acquisition. - Nuprep Skin Preparation Gel
This gel effectively lowers skin impedance by removing outer skin layers and oils, facilitating better electrode adhesion and improved signal quality. - Large Alcohol Preparation Pads
Pre-saturated with isopropyl alcohol, these pads are ideal for cleansing the skin prior to electrode application, ensuring a contaminant-free surface.
