The Iontophoresis Electrode Kit from Balego is designed for professional iontophoresis drug-delivery workflows using compatible iontophoresis devices. Each kit includes an iontophoresis drug electrode, a buffered return electrode, and two alcohol prep pads, giving clinicians a convenient single-treatment setup in a 12-kit box.

Available in Small Square, Medium Square, Large Square, and Butterfly configurations, this electrode line gives clinics practical choices for drug capacity, treatment-site fit, and electrode footprint. The electrodes use silver/silver chloride, or Ag/AgCl, technology and a buffered return electrode design to support consistent current flow, pH stabilization, and patient comfort during professional use.


Product Overview

This iontophoresis electrode kit is intended for professional treatment settings where clinicians need a ready-to-use drug-delivery electrode and buffered return electrode packaged together. The kit is designed to support consistent medication delivery, comfortable adherence, and practical treatment-room workflow.

Each box includes 12 kits. Each kit includes:

Included Component Purpose
Iontophoresis drug electrode Holds and delivers the medication or solution during iontophoresis
Buffered return electrode Helps complete the circuit and supports pH stabilization and comfort
2 alcohol prep pads Used to clean the skin before electrode placement

Why Choose These Iontophoresis Electrodes?

Silver/Silver Chloride Conducting Element

The drug-delivery electrode uses Ag/AgCl technology designed to support consistent current flow and efficient iontophoresis delivery.

Buffered Return Electrode

The buffered return electrode helps stabilize pH during treatment, which may support comfort and reduce irritation associated with skin hydrolysis.

No Water Activation Needed

The electrodes are designed for direct use without water activation, helping avoid the additional step of wetting the electrode before treatment.

Large Adhesive Area

A broad adhesive surface helps maintain electrode placement during treatment and supports even current distribution across the treatment area.

Four Size Options

Choose from Small Square, Medium Square, Large Square, or Butterfly depending on the treatment area and drug capacity required.

Made in the USA

The product page identifies these iontophoresis electrodes as made in the USA.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ruby X. ★★★★★

The alcohol prep pads included are a nice touch, saving me a trip to find my own. Used this kit with my device and the adhesive held perfectly through the whole session.

Victoria D. ★★★★★

The buffered return electrode makes a noticeable difference in comfort during longer sessions. I’ve been using this kit with my device and the pads prep the skin perfectly.

Madison K. ★★★★★

The Ag/AgCl drug electrode gave me consistent, even delivery through the whole session with no hot spots. Having the two alcohol prep pads right in the kit meant I didn't have to dig around for supplies.
