Electrode issues
Does anyone have any recommendations for finger clip electrodes? The current ones I use are Chalgren finger clip electrodes. They USED TO BE great, but since they got bought out by another company last year, they are less durable.
NOW, they only last for 1-1.5 months. They short out or can't provide a stable baseline (interference) even though I clean thoughly, use gel, and a stable ground. I will post a picture of the ones that I use. I have contacted the new company that bought Chalgren and alerted them about the issue.
Once I replace the old finger cip electrodes with new ones, they work fine...for 1 month or so. They used to last a lot longer before they were bought out. https://www.google.com/search?q=finger+clip+electrodes&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS899US910&sxsrf=APq-WBtkvc4KkQaZ3cpeUmBoGBO9eq6rkw:1648916928469&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjr_qOe5vX2AhV_gnIEHa6yAQ4Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1440&bih=708&dpr=1#imgrc=PfMLjZ8BB22vEM

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
