TENS Electrode Pad OEM Manufacturing - Electronic Pain Therapy Production Guide 2026
Introduction
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) electrode pads deliver electrical therapy for pain management. This OEM manufacturing guide covers the complete production process for TENS electrode pads in 2026.
What are TENS Electrode Pads?

TENS electrode pads are conductive pads that deliver electrical currents through the skin. Key characteristics:
- Conductive gel: Ensures electrical contact
- Carbon fabric: Even current distribution
- Reusable design: Multiple uses per pad
- Universal compatibility: Works with most TENS units
Key Components

Conductive Layer
- Carbon fiber: Uniform conductivity
- Silver-carbon blend: Enhanced performance
- Multi-contact design: Even stimulation
Hydrogel Layer
- Premium hydrogel: Excellent conductivity
- Skin-safe adhesive: Comfortable wear
- Moisture retention: Long-lasting hydration
Backing Material
- Non-woven fabric: Breathable comfort
- Foam backing: Cushioned support
- Flexible design: Conforms to body contours
OEM Manufacturing Process
