ECG clamp electrodes are used to hold electrodes on the chest wall. They are used with electrocardiography equipment to collect bioelectric signals from patients at rest. The electrodes are attached to the chest wall to record the ECG pattern or the heart's rhythm. ECG clamp electrodes are made of ABS plastic and are especially indicated for use in children. They are reusable and can be attached to wrists or ankles. The metal parts used in the clamp electrode are bright nickel coated for better conductivity. A 24-hour reading is a frequently used tool for the diagnosis of heart problems. A 12-lead ECG has 10 electrodes that provide 12 perspectives of the heart's activity.
