Happy new year all,
Our physio department are using 'interferential therapy' which is use of
electrical impulses to relieve muscle pain following certain procedures.
This evolves placing a foam pad on intact skin with a lead wire in it to
deliver the impulse. The problem as it stands is that these pads are not
single use and cleaning and decontamination is difficult. Has anyone any
experience of cleaning and decontaminating foam pads oris there an
alternative.
Thank you,
John

As the pads only come into contact with intact skin they can be washed in neutral detergent and allowed to dry.
