Surface Electrode and Tape Removal Physics
For years, I’ve wanted to take a closer look at how we remove our neurodiagnostic/neurology surface electrodes and adhesives such as tape from our patient’s skin. I was encouraged by the work the ASET Skin Safety Task Force and Petra Davidson did regarding electrode pressure lesions under long term monitoring. There are always more ingredients to throw into the stew. This was an attempt at illuminating some of the physics that apply to optimally removing such “sticky stuff”.
