Tired of pinpoint pain relief that doesn't cover the area?

Unlock the power of targeted, comfortable TENS therapy with Polar Frost's premium 5x9cm Large Diameter Electrodes. Engineered for optimal performance on medium to large pain zones, these versatile electrodes deliver the broad coverage you need for effective chronic pain management and muscle recovery.

Why Choose Our 5x9cm Electrodes?

  • Optimal for Larger Areas: Perfectly sized to cover common trouble spots like the lower back, thighs, calves, shoulders, and abdomen. Experience superior relief where you need it most.

  • Gentler, More Comfortable Sensation: The larger surface area distributes the TENS current evenly, reducing intense "hot spots" and delivering a smoother, more comfortable therapy session – ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Enhanced Pain Gate Activation: Stimulate more sensory nerves simultaneously over a broader area, effectively helping to block chronic back painsciatica discomfortarthritis aches (knees/hips), and post-surgical pain signals.

  • Superior Muscle Relief: Effectively target sore muscles, stiffness, and tension across larger muscle groups for post-workout recovery or generalized aches.

  • Stable & Secure Adhesion: Enjoy reliable, long-lasting stick thanks to our strong medical-grade hydrogel and large adhesive surface. Stay focused on relief, not repositioning pads.

  • High-Quality & Reusable: Crafted for durability and consistent conductivity. These reusable gel electrodes offer exceptional value and performance session after session.

PAINS & CONDITIONS IT HELPS WITH:

1. Chronic Lower Back Pain:

  • How it helps: The 5x9cm size perfectly covers large sections of the lower back musculature (erector spinae, quadratus lumborum). The broad stimulation effectively disrupts pain signals and promotes muscle relaxation across this common pain area.

2. Muscle Aches & Stiffness (Thighs, Calves, Shoulders):

  • How it helps: Ideal for sore quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, or tight trapezius/deltoid muscles. The size matches the muscle bulk, providing soothing stimulation and promoting blood flow to aid recovery from overuse, strain, or post-exercise soreness.

3. Sciatica Pain (Along the Path):

  • How it helps: While the source is nerve root irritation, pain often radiates down the buttock, thigh, or calf. Placing 5x9cm electrodes along the painful pathway (e.g., on the buttock, back of thigh, or calf) can help manage the referred muscular pain and discomfort associated with sciatica.

4. Arthritis Pain (Knees, Hips - Periarticular Pain):

  • How it helps: While not placed directly on a highly bony joint like the knee cap, 5x9cm electrodes are excellent for placing above and below the knee joint or on the muscles surrounding the hip. This helps manage the muscular pain, stiffness, and inflammation often associated with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in these large joints.

5. Post-Surgical Pain (Abdomen, Large Limbs):

  • How it helps: Following surgeries like abdominal procedures (e.g., C-section, hernia repair, hysterectomy) or orthopedic surgeries on large limbs, 5x9cm electrodes can be placed around (not directly on) the incision site as directed by a healthcare professional. The broad stimulation helps manage diffuse post-operative pain and muscle guarding.

6. Generalized Aches & Stiffness:

  • How it helps: For non-specific aches, stiffness, or tension affecting broad areas, the 5x9cm size provides comfortable and effective coverage without needing multiple small pads.

Important Considerations & Limitations:

  • Not Ideal for Small Joints: This size is generally too large for precise application on small areas like wrists, ankles, hands, feet, or the face. Smaller electrodes (e.g., 2x2, 3x3, 5x5 round) are better suited there.

  • Placement is Key: Effectiveness relies heavily on correct placement over the painful area or relevant nerve pathways/trigger points. Consult placement guides or a professional.

  • Skin Preparation: Clean, dry skin is essential for optimal adhesion and conductivity. Shaving very hairy areas might be necessary.
