Defib Pads
Defib Pads products from OscarTech UK, part of our Emergency Equipment range.
Our defib pads range covers replacement electrode pads for both AED and manual defibrillator units, ensuring your devices remain compliant and ready for immediate use. Pads are a consumable component with a fixed shelf life, and keeping a current, in-date set on hand is one of the most important parts of ongoing defibrillator maintenance, regardless of how often the device itself is actually used.
We stock adult and paediatric pad options, compatible with the AED and monitor-defibrillator ranges we supply, so hospitals, ambulance services, GP practices, and workplace first aid points can source exact-fit replacements without guesswork over compatibility.
Available through NHS Supply Chain for Trust procurement, and directly to private hospitals, care providers, and workplace safety teams. We can also advise on setting up a reminder-based reordering schedule so pad expiry is never missed.
Products in this category are being added soon. Contact us for current availability.
How often do defib pads need replacing?
Most defib pads have a shelf life of 2 to 5 years depending on the manufacturer, printed clearly on the packaging. Pads must also be replaced immediately after any actual use, even if the expiry date hasn't passed.
Are adult and paediatric pads different?
Yes. Paediatric pads deliver a reduced energy level suited to children, either through smaller dedicated pads or a paediatric key/attenuator used with standard adult pads, depending on the device. We can advise on the right option for your specific defibrillator model.
Will any pads fit any defibrillator?
No, pads are model-specific and not interchangeable across manufacturers or device types. We stock pads matched to the AED and monitor-defibrillator ranges we supply, so always check compatibility with your exact device model before ordering.
What happens if pads expire without being used?
Expired pads should be replaced even if never used, as the gel and adhesive properties degrade over time and can affect both signal quality and adhesion in an emergency.
Can we set up automatic reordering before pads expire?
Yes, we can help set up a reminder or standing order schedule so replacement pads arrive before your current set expires, reducing the risk of an out-of-date device going unnoticed.
