Benefits for Clinicians

Consistent for clinical use – single strip design reduces placement variability
Reduces prep time – 2 strips, 1 clip for efficient test set-up
Easily connects to any ERG device

Benefits for Patients

No corneal contact required – perfect for patients who cannot tolerate traditional corneal electrodes
Flexible adhesive material enhances comfort and moves with the patient, preventing chances of electrode or cable pulling off
Two size options for easier fit, even for patients with the smallest faces
Consistent results reduce need for repeat testing, saving patients time or reducing additional appointments

BACKED BY SCIENCE

Validated by 13 Peer-Reviewed Studies

Our patented Sensor Strips enhance patient comfort for consistent, reliable results – and you can rest easy knowing that this innovative electrode technology has been validated by 13 peer-reviewed studies with more than 600 patients.

DIVE INTO THE RESEARCH

Sensor Strips with the RETeval manual y portátil,

RETeval^® handheld ERG and innovative skin electrodes allow for consistent, reliable assessment of retina function.

The device allows clinicians to perform ERGs more quickly, easily, and accurately, with patient comfort in mind. Eye care providers can help their patients better manage disease with functional assessment and objective data. With our age-matched reference database of healthy retina function and color-coded reporting, interpreting ERG results has never been easier.

Compare Sensor Strips to Other ERG Skin Electrodes

Feature	Sensor Strips by LKC	Other Skin Electrodes
Electrode Placement	All three electrodes in one strip	All three electrodes have to be individually placed, taking more time and adding variability as the spacing between the electrodes can change
Electrode Connection	All connections done with one connector	Multiple connectors required
Connector Cable	Designed to slip off if cable is pulled so skin is not impacted	Locking connector cable, more likely to pull the skin
Preparation Time	No skin prep is needed for flicker tests. Single flash tests benefit from NuPrep or alcohol wipes.	Must prepare skin area under eye, on side of head, and forehead for connectors
Adherence to Skin	Soft gel pads adhere directly to skin	Lid sensor and tape liner required
Skin Placement	Torsion-relief feature reduces chance of connector of cable pulling off of the skin due to patient movement or environmental factors	No torsion-relief, electrode more likely to pull the skin
Patient Eye Comfort	Placed 2 mm below eye for maximum comfort	Must be placed directly under lower eyelash

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I place the Sensor Strips on my patient?

After prepping the patient’s skin with a cleanser such as NuPrep or Ocusoft, ensure the patient is seated comfortably and position the electrode at a slight angle underneath the lower lash line. Line the edge of the nasal side of the Sensor Strip up with the pupil and place the electrode 2-3 mm below the lower eyelid. Once the edge of the electrode is in place, follow the natural curve of the eye straight out toward the ear and adhere the remaining section to the patient’s skin. Avoid any trapping hair or eyelashes beneath the electrode.

Can I use my Sensor Strip more than once?

Sensor Strip Electrodes are designed for single use only. However, if you are performing multiple assessments on the same patient, the RETeval device will allow you to scan the same Sensor Strip package barcode up to 4 times.

Are Sensor Strips available in other sizes?

Yes! Our Sensor Strip Electrodes also come in a smaller size for children or any patient with a smaller face. This smaller size requires a separate electrode cable which can be purchased here.

How can I order more Sensor Strips?

You can order Sensor Strips in multiple sizes here.

What can I do if the Sensor Strips aren’t sticking properly?

The most common problem is skin preparation. Carefully and thoroughly prep the patient’s skin with a lid and skin cleanser such as NuPrep or Ocusoft and ensure that any excess gel or moisture is removed prior to applying the Sensor Strip electrode. If needed, you can also use a small piece of medical-grade adhesive tape toward the patient’s temple to adhere the electrode more securely.

What if my patient has a latex allergy?

LKC’s Sensor Strip electrodes are completely latex-free.

Can I use my Sensor Strip with another ERG device?

Yes. You can purchase a DIN cable adaptor to use LKC Sensor Strips with another manufacturer’s ERG device. Results may vary by manufacturer.

Do Sensor Strips expire?

Sensor Strip Electrodes have an estimated shelf life of up to 3 years from the manufacture date. When scanning the barcode to begin a test, the RETeval device will inform the user if the Sensor Strip is expired.
