How long do X-trodes electrodes last?

PostedMarch 16, 2023

UpdatedMarch 16, 2023

ByEmy Nguyen

We recommend using the electrodes up to one year after receiving them.

Previous Can I adjust the electrodes to different body areas?

Next Does the location of the ground matter? Can I choose the location?
