Unlock Targeted Relief: Polar Frost Premium 5cm Diameter TENS Electrodes

Engineered for medium-to-large pain zones like knees, shoulders, the lower back, thighs, and elbows, these premium hydrogel electrodes provide the ideal surface area to target musculoskeletal discomfort effectively. The generous 5cm (2-inch) diameter ensures optimal current distribution, eliminating painful "hot spots" and delivering a smoother, more comfortable stimulation experience compared to smaller pads. This makes them the go-to electrode for osteoarthritis pain relief, chronic back pain management, post-workout muscle recovery, and soothing strains or sprains.

BENEFITS OF 5CM DIAMETER ELECTRODES:

1. Optimal Current Distribution for Medium-Large Areas: The 5cm size (approx. 2 inches) provides a significant surface area. This effectively disperses the electrical current over a broader zone compared to smaller electrodes. This reduces the sensation of current "pinpointing" or feeling overly intense ("hot spots"), leading to a more comfortable and even therapeutic stimulation.

2. Ideal Coverage for Common Pain Zones: This size perfectly matches the scale of many prevalent musculoskeletal pain areas:

3. Enhanced Stability & Adhesion: The larger surface area provides more adhesive contact with the skin. This makes the electrode less likely to peel, shift, or fall off during movement, exercise, or extended wear, ensuring consistent therapy delivery.

4. Reduced Skin Irritation Risk: By distributing the current over a wider area, the 5cm electrode reduces the current density (amps per cm²) at any single point on the skin. This minimizes the risk of skin irritation, redness, or discomfort that can sometimes occur with smaller electrodes carrying the same total current.

5. Versatility: Strikes a great balance between the pinpoint focus of smaller electrodes (e.g., 2.5cm) and the broad coverage of larger ones (e.g., 7.5cm or 10x5cm rectangles). It's a versatile "workhorse" size suitable for a wide range of common applications.

PAINS & CONDITIONS THE 5cm ELECTRODE HELPS ADDRESS:

1. Osteoarthritis Pain (Knees, Elbows, Hips):

  • How it helps: The electrode's size allows it to comfortably cover the joint capsule and surrounding muscles. Dispersed stimulation helps modulate pain signals from the arthritic joint and can reduce associated muscle tension.

2. Lower Back Pain (Muscular Strain, Non-Specific LBP):

  • How it helps: Placed strategically over the paraspinal muscles or trigger points on either side of the spine, the 5cm electrode provides sufficient coverage to stimulate these large muscle groups, promoting relaxation, reducing spasm, and blocking pain transmission.

3. Muscle Strains & Sprains (Thighs, Calves, Shoulders):

  • How it helps: Covers the bulk of injured muscles (like quads, hamstrings, calf muscles, or deltoids). Stimulation helps reduce inflammation perception, eases muscle tightness, and promotes blood flow to aid healing.

4. Post-Exercise Muscle Soreness (DOMS - Legs, Back):

  • How it helps: Applied to sore muscle groups (e.g., quads after squats, calves after running, lats after pulling exercises), the dispersed stimulation helps reduce the sensation of deep ache and promotes muscle recovery.

5. Chronic Shoulder Pain (Rotator Cuff Tendonitis, Bursitis):

  • How it helps: Effectively covers the anterior, lateral, or posterior aspects of the shoulder joint and surrounding musculature, helping manage pain and stiffness associated with common shoulder issues.

6. Knee Pain (Patellofemoral Pain, Tendonitis):

  • How it helps: Can be placed above/below the kneecap, or on either side of the knee joint, targeting the relevant tendons, ligaments, and musculature involved in knee pain.

7. Generalized Muscle Tension & Aches (Back, Thighs):

  • How it helps: The broad coverage is ideal for soothing diffuse, non-specific muscle tightness and ache in larger body regions.
