return electrode

A return electrode is a critical component in electrical treatments like galvanic or electrical stimulation therapies. It acts as a safety and completing part of the circuit by directing electrical current back from the body to the device after it has been applied to the treatment area. Proper placement and functioning of the return electrode ensure that the electrical flow remains safe, controlled, and effective. It helps prevent shocks or burns, ensuring that the electrical therapy is administered safely and efficiently.
