Holds on the chest by the vacuum a squeezed rubber bulb makes, rather than by the spring pressure of a limb clamp or the adhesive of a single use tab, and is supplied six to a pack for the chest positions V1 to V6.
An ECG chest electrode of the suction type is a reusable electrode held on the skin by vacuum. A flexible rubber or silicone bulb is bonded to a metal cup with a stud or screw terminal on the back for the lead wire; squeezing the bulb and releasing it against the chest draws the cup down and holds it there, with no adhesive and no strap. Six are used at a time, at the chest positions V1 to V6 of a standard 12 lead recording, which is why they are sold six to a pack. The metal cup is nickel or chrome plated brass, or silver and silver chloride, chosen for low contact resistance. They are cleaned and disinfected between patients rather than thrown away, which is what separates them from the single use adhesive tab electrode, and they hold by suction rather than by spring pressure, which is what separates them from the limb clamp electrode used on the arms and legs.

Quality control
The inspection step is set by the line you order.
- Economy line
- sample: visual + dimensional
- Clinical line
- sample + boil test
- Premium line
- tighter sample + hardness test
- Executive line
- 100% inspection + laser mark
Finish A color is a second choice, made on top of the line. Colored finishes on request, on any instrument, in addition to the steel line. Evidenced: black · gold · rose gold · blue · rainbow (anodised titanium).
How it is built
- A flexible rubber or silicone bulb bonded to a metal cup, held on the skin by the vacuum the bulb makes
- Stud or screw terminal on the back of the cup for the lead wire
- Cup in nickel or chrome plated brass, or in silver and silver chloride
- Used at the six chest positions V1 to V6 of a standard 12 lead recording, and sold six to a pack for that reason
- Reusable: cleaned and disinfected between patients, supplied non sterile
- Holds by suction, unlike the limb clamp electrode, which holds by spring pressure, and the single use tab electrode, which holds by adhesive

The standard sizes this kind of instrument is made in
Sold six to a pack, one for each chest position V1 to V6 · Lead connector: a stud or screw terminal taking a 4 mm banana plug or a 3 mm pin socket, matched to the patient cable
These are the sizes the pattern is manufactured in across the trade. They are not a stock list. Tell us the size you need and we will quote against it.
This describes the article. The steel, the finish and the inspection step are set by the line you order.
Full specification
A full specification is published for an article of this name: its own minimum order, the sizes it is supplied in, and where it is a set, what the set contains.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy line | AISI 410 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | satin, passivated | sample: visual + dimensional |
| Clinical line | AISI 420 | Pakistani or German | satin, passivated | sample + boil test |
| Premium line | AISI 420-440C | German or Japanese | fine polish, passivated | tighter sample + hardness test |
| Executive line | AISI 440C | German or Japanese | mirror polish, passivated | 100% inspection + laser mark |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.
If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.
Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
