Duratrode® at a glance
-
Optimised workflows
No daily electrode change by the patient and no instruction needed for it, with fewer interruptions of the signal. 5 instead of 20 to 25 electrodes for a 7-day ECG¹. No gel that dries out in storage or after opening.
-
Clinical benefit
Wearable for up to 10 days, without a scheduled daily electrode change. In the application study, all recordings were interpretable by physicians¹. Electrically tested to ANSI/AAMI EC12.
-
Patient comfort
Rated significantly better for skin friendliness by the study participants¹. Applied once and designed for the entire measurement period. Showerable: the electrode stays on, remove the recorder depending on the system.
Gel-free, patented technology
Duratrode® uses a conductive textile that is kept continuously functional by a moistening system. No gel that dries out and, in the study¹, significantly less skin redness than with gel electrodes. Studied with Empa and Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen.
Separately billable under TARDOC
In Switzerland, Duratrode® can be billed separately as consumable material under GI-26 if the purchase price per electrode actually used exceeds CHF 3.00. Tariff and statutory conditions apply, and reimbursement in an individual case is not guaranteed. We are happy to send our practical billing guide to healthcare professionals on request.
