Capacitive Electrode Size Comparison
Capacitive electrodes are available in three sizes. Choose the size based on the treatment area, patient setup, and compatible system instructions.
| Electrode Size | SKU | Coverage Profile | Practical Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 mm | 020453216 | Smallest listed capacitive electrode | Choose when a smaller electrode footprint is needed |
| 120 mm | 020453217 | Mid-size capacitive electrode | Choose for general capacitive-field setup needs |
| 165 mm | 020453218 | Largest listed capacitive electrode | Choose when broader electrode coverage is preferred |
How to choose a capacitive electrode size: Choose 80 mm for smaller or more focused treatment-area setup; choose 120 mm for a balanced, mid-size electrode option; choose 165 mm for larger treatment-area coverage; and confirm the selected electrode size matches your system, electrode arm setup, and clinical protocol before use.
Diplode vs. Monode Comparison
The Diplode and Monode are different accessory options used with compatible shortwave diathermy systems. Choose based on your device configuration, clinical workflow, and replacement needs.
| Feature | Diplode | Monode |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | 020969553 | 02200002 |
| Accessory type | Diathermy applicator | Diathermy applicator |
| Best for | Clinics needing a Diplode accessory option | Clinics needing a Monode accessory option |
| Common buyer reason | Replacement, additional applicator option, or setup expansion | Replacement, additional applicator option, or setup expansion |
| Compatibility check | Required before ordering | Required before ordering |
Selection tip: If your system was configured with a Monode, choose the Monode replacement. If your workflow or system setup calls for a Diplode, choose the Diplode. When unsure, verify the system model, manual, and accessory compatibility before purchasing.
Left vs. Right Electrode Arm Comparison
Electrode arms help position the electrode or applicator during treatment setup. Choose the side that matches your system configuration or the part being replaced.
| Accessory | SKU | Position | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrode Arm, Left | 14790 | Left-side arm | Left-side replacement or setup requirement |
| Electrode Arm, Right | 14791 | Right-side arm | Right-side replacement or setup requirement |
Selection tip: If replacing an existing arm, match the replacement to the same side. If building out a capacitive-field setup, confirm whether your configuration requires one or both arms.
Product Description
Shortwave Diathermy Accessories from Balego support professional clinics using compatible diathermy systems for deep tissue heating workflows. This accessory page is organized around practical purchasing needs: electrode size selection, applicator replacement, and electrode arm positioning.
Capacitive electrode options are available in 80 mm, 120 mm, and 165 mm sizes, giving clinicians a choice of smaller, mid-size, or larger electrode footprints. The Diplode and Monode accessories support compatible applicator workflows, while the left and right electrode arms help maintain proper positioning during treatment setup.
For clinics that depend on diathermy as part of their rehabilitation or physical therapy services, having the correct accessories available can help reduce downtime, preserve treatment-room efficiency, and support consistent device setup.
Capacitive Electrode Accessories
Capacitive Electrodes 80 mm — SKU 020453216. The smallest listed capacitive electrode option. Best suited for workflows where a smaller electrode footprint is preferred: smaller treatment-area setup, focused capacitive-field workflows, clinics needing a compact electrode option, and replacement of matching 80 mm electrodes.
Capacitive Electrodes 120 mm — SKU 020453217. A mid-size option and the default SKU shown on the Balego page. A practical choice for clinics needing a balanced electrode size: general capacitive-field accessory needs, mid-size treatment-area setup, replacement of matching 120 mm electrodes, and clinics wanting a versatile capacitive electrode option.
Capacitive Electrodes 165 mm — SKU 020453218. The largest capacitive electrode option in the chart. Useful when a broader electrode footprint is preferred: larger treatment-area setup, broader capacitive-field coverage, replacement of matching 165 mm electrodes, and clinics wanting multiple electrode sizes available.
Diplode and Monode Accessories
Diplode — SKU 020969553. An accessory option for compatible shortwave diathermy systems. Choose this item when replacing a Diplode or adding one for compatible clinical workflows: Diplode replacement, compatible applicator setup, clinics expanding diathermy accessory options, and professional diathermy workflows requiring a Diplode.
Monode — SKU 02200002. A diathermy applicator accessory used with compatible shortwave diathermy systems, commonly associated with inductive-style workflows. May be needed as a replacement or additional applicator: Monode replacement, inductive-style applicator workflows, clinics maintaining SWD100 accessory sets, and backup or additional applicator availability.
Electrode Arms
Electrode Arm, Left — SKU 14790. Supports compatible applicator or electrode positioning on the left side of the system setup. Choose when replacing a left-side arm or completing a setup that requires left-side support.
Electrode Arm, Right — SKU 14791. Supports compatible applicator or electrode positioning on the right side of the system setup. Choose when replacing a right-side arm or completing a setup that requires right-side support.
Compatibility Notes
Before ordering, confirm your exact shortwave diathermy system model; whether your system uses capacitive electrodes, a Diplode, a Monode, or electrode arms; which electrode size is required (80 mm, 120 mm, or 165 mm); whether you need a left electrode arm, right electrode arm, or both; whether the accessory is a replacement part or an add-on; whether your system requires additional cables, pads, arms, or applicator hardware; and current manufacturer instructions for setup, safety, contraindications, and use.
