Are Defibrillator Pads Reusable?
The short answer is no. Defibrillator pads are useable one time only. Defibrillator pads contain gels that help them stick to the body and that provide a conducting agent between the defibrillator and the patient. Once they are used, they are not able to stick to the patient as effectively again, Also in life-threatening situations, bodily fluids and contaminants would make the pads unhygienic for reuse.
When do I need to change pads?
Defibrillator pads generally have a 4-year lifespan before the gels start to break down. So for most Defibrillators we sell, you will only need to change them every 4 years or after use. The pads are easy and simple to replace. If you already have a defibrillator, replacement pads can be ordered for Lifepak here or for Heartsine here.

Hey there fellow Defibrillator afficiando! I'm Jack, a first aid trainer based in beautiful Penrith, NSW at the foot of the Blue Mountains. I love helping take complicated subjects and making them easy and understandable. When I'm not first aiding, you can find me birding and listening to jangle pop.
