Richmar InTENSity 2" × 2" White Cloth TENS Electrodes — 40 Pack

The Richmar InTENSity 2" × 2" White Cloth Electrodes are reusable, self-adhering replacement pads for compatible TENS, EMS/NMES, interferential, and related electrotherapy devices.

Each electrode combines a flexible conductive carbon layer with self-adhering hydrogel, a soft white cloth backing, and a reinforced full-coverage wire connection. The square 2-inch profile provides a practical balance between focused placement and useful surface coverage, making it one of the most versatile electrode sizes for portable electrotherapy.

This product has 10 individually sealed packages of four electrodes, for a total of 40 reusable pads. The bulk configuration is useful for clinics, rehabilitation departments, chiropractic offices, sports-medicine programs, athletic-training rooms, and home users who want multiple replacement sets available.

The EP2020WC2-INTM electrode is a standard accessory with several InTENSity devices, including the InTENSity 10, InTENSity 12, Twin Stim IV, Select Combo II, and IF Combo II.

The carbon layer supports broad current delivery across the pad and identifies the electrodes for TENS, EMS, interferential, and other compatible electrostimulation applications.

The pad connection is a standard 2 mm female pigtail socket. Pairs EP2020WC2-INTM electrodes with WW3005 lead wires on several InTENSity systems; those leads terminate in standard 2 mm electrode pins.

The separately packaged four-electrode sets allow unused pads to remain sealed until they are needed. This is particularly useful in clinical settings where each pouch can be assigned to one patient.

The 2-inch square format is a common general-purpose size because it provides more surface area than a small targeted electrode without requiring the space of a long rectangular pad.

Our TENS electrode buying guide identifies the 2" square format as a useful starting point for many everyday replacement-electrode applications.

A square electrode can be positioned

• Beside another pad in a two-electrode setup
• Around a painful region in a four-pad TENS arrangement
• Over a motor-point region for clinician-directed NMES
• In a crossed interferential configuration when permitted by the device
• On many common arm, shoulder, back, hip, thigh, and leg treatment sites

Placement must still follow the electrotherapy device instructions and any directions supplied by the treating healthcare professional. Richmar notes that electrode placement is an important treatment parameter and advises users to follow the prescribed location and device instructions.

The flexible carbon layer, premium white cloth backing, self-adhering construction, and full-coverage wire connector are the product’s principal design features.

TENS

TENS generally uses sensory-level electrical stimulation for temporary pain modulation programs. The desired sensation is typically strong but comfortable tingling, pulsing, or buzzing without a forceful muscle contraction.

Browse Balego’s TENS units, electrodes, and accessories.

EMS and NMES use electrical pulses to activate motor nerves and produce a visible or palpable muscle contraction. These electrodes may be used when the stimulator accepts the connection and permits a 2" square pad.

Compare devices in our neuromuscular stimulation collection.

For a clearer explanation of treatment goals, read TENS vs. NMES: Differences, Uses, and Device Guide.

The manufacturer identifies these pads for compatible IF or interferential applications. Confirm that the clinical or portable interferential system uses the correct lead-wire connection and permits electrodes of this size.

Do not assume that every electrical-stimulation system accepts these pads. Microcurrent, FES, Russian stimulation, combination systems, clinical stimulators, and specialized devices may have different electrode or connection requirements.

The electrode does not connect directly to the stimulation unit. Its pigtail socket accepts the pin at the electrode end of a compatible lead wire.

Our 45-inch TENS/NMES lead wires use a 2.35 mm device-side plug and standard 2 mm electrode pins. They fit many Richmar and portable electrotherapy devices.

• Snap-style electrode cables
• Tab or clip-style leads
• Proprietary EMPI safety connectors
• Magnetic connectors
• Wireless wearable TENS systems
• Omron-style proprietary pad connections
• Conductive garments without the required adapter
• Systems with permanently attached electrode pads

For additional connector guidance, read TENS and NMES Electrode Connectors: Pigtail vs. Tab.

Always follow the instructions supplied with the electrotherapy device.

1. Turn the stimulator off

Set the output intensity to zero and turn the unit off before connecting, applying, repositioning, or removing the electrodes.

2. Inspect the electrodes

Do not use a pad with the following:

• Dry or visibly damaged gel
• A torn backing
• A loose pigtail connection
• A folded or permanently curled edge
• Exposed conductive material
• Dirt, lint or hair covering the gel
• Adhesion too weak to maintain complete skin contact

The electrode instructions advise inspecting the wires and adhesive before every use and immediately discarding electrodes that are damaged or no longer adhere firmly.

3. Prepare the skin

Apply electrodes to clean, dry, intact skin.

Remove:

• Lotion
• Body oil
• Sweat
• Makeup
• Topical analgesic
• Loose debris

Clean, dry skin supports more complete adhesion and consistent contact. Richmar’s electrode-placement guidance specifically directs users to apply electrodes to clean and dry skin.

4. Connect the lead wire

Insert the compatible lead-wire pin completely into the pigtail socket.

Do not pull, twist, or bend the pigtail excessively.

5. Remove the pad from its liner

Lift the electrode by the cloth edge rather than pulling on the pigtail wire.

Avoid touching the hydrogel more than necessary.

6. Apply the complete electrode

Position the pad and smooth it from the center outward. Make sure the gel surface lies flat without:

• Air pockets
• Wrinkles
• Folded corners
• Lifted edges
• Hair trapped beneath the pad

7. Begin at zero intensity

Turn on the device and gradually increase the output according to the treatment plan.

Stimulation should not feel sharply concentrated, burning, painful, or intolerable. Stop and inspect the electrode when one edge feels substantially stronger than the rest.

8. Turn the device off before removal

Reduce intensity to zero and turn the stimulator off. Never pull an electrode from the skin while stimulation remains active.

9. Return the pad to the liner

Peel the electrode slowly from its cloth edge and place the gel side back onto its original protective liner.

10. Reseal the pouch

Return all four electrodes to their pouch and close it securely.

These electrodes may be reused up to 15 times. That is a maximum under suitable conditions—not a guarantee that every set will last for exactly 15 treatments.

Actual life varies according to the following:

• Skin cleanliness
• Skin oil
• Perspiration
• Body hair
• Frequency of use
• Treatment duration
• Handling of the hydrogel
• Storage temperature
• Exposure to air
• Dust and lint
• Body location
• Edge movement
• Intensity and treatment setup

Replace the electrodes when adhesion or electrical comfort declines, even when fewer than 15 applications have occurred.

Replace a set when:

• An electrode does not remain completely attached.
• One or more corners repeatedly lift.
• The hydrogel has dried.
• The gel is dirty, uneven, or contaminated.
• The backing is torn.
• The pigtail connector is loose.
• Stimulation feels sharper or more concentrated.
• Output becomes weak or intermittent.
• Skin irritation develops.
• The pad has been used by another person.

A worn pad may still look usable while providing incomplete contact. Poor contact can produce an uneven sensation and may increase the likelihood of skin irritation.

Use the same electrode size originally supplied with the device unless another size is approved by the clinician or device instructions.

• A smaller electrode can increase current concentration and the chance of irritation or burns.
• A substantially larger electrode may reduce perceived stimulation, prompting the user to increase intensity unnecessarily.
• Replacement electrodes should match the original size or the healthcare professional’s recommendation.

Whenever changing electrode size, brand, gel type, or placement, return the intensity to zero and readjust gradually.

Normally, no.

These are self-adhering pre-gelled electrodes. Adding electrode gel, water, lotion, or another contact medium may:

• Reduce adhesion
• Make the electrode slide
• Contaminate the existing hydrogel
• Cause uneven contact
• Shorten useful life

Separate conductive gel is more appropriate for non-gelled carbon-rubber electrodes. Customers who need that type of setup can compare our non-gelled carbon electrodes.

After each treatment:

1. Turn off the stimulator.
2. Remove each pad by its cloth edge.
3. Avoid pulling the pigtail connector.
4. Return the pads to the original liner.
5. Place the complete set in its pouch.
6. Seal the pouch.
7. Store according to the package directions.
8. Keep the set assigned to one person.

Do not:

• Wash or soak the pad.
• Scrape the hydrogel.
• Clean it with alcohol or solvent.
• Leave it uncovered between treatments.
• Store it in direct sunlight.
• Fold the electrode.
• Cut the pad into another shape.
• Share it between patients.
