Defibrillator Pads

Why Timely Replacement Matters

Defibrillator pads have a limited shelf life, typically ranging from about 18 months up to 5 years depending on the model and manufacturer. Over time, the conductive gel that helps the pads adhere and deliver current can dry out, significantly reducing effectiveness. Pads must always be replaced after any use, even if only applied briefly, as the adhesive and gel properties degrade once opened.

Keeping replacement pads up to date is not just good practice — it’s vital for safety. Expired or degraded pads may not stick properly during an emergency, which can compromise shock delivery and reduce the likelihood of a successful resuscitation attempt.

Choose the Right Defibrillator Pads for Your AED

AEDs from different manufacturers require specific pad designs and connectors. Our range of defibrillator pads includes adult and paediatric options from top brands such as Philips, IPAD, Defibtech, Zoll, Schiller, Cardiac Science and Mediana — all tailored to match their corresponding defibrillator units. Pads come in sealed packets with clear expiry dates for easy maintenance scheduling.

Convenient AED Maintenance Support

Along with pads, consider a maintenance routine that includes tracking expiry dates and scheduling regular checks. Many suppliers offer free reminder services to alert you when pads (and batteries) are nearing replacement dates.
