AED Replacement Pads (Adult & Pediatric Electrodes)
Official Replacement Pads for Every Major AED Brand.
AED pads are the most critical part of your defibrillator. Over time, the conductive gel dries out, making them unable to deliver a life-saving shock. We carry Factory-Fresh replacements for all FDA-approved devices.

🛠️ How to Check if Your Pads Are Expired
Before you buy, check your current pads. Most AED pads have a lifespan of 2 Years. Look for the expiration date printed on the package next to the hourglass symbol ⏳.
Keep your new pads sealed in their foil pouch until a rescue is required. Opening them prematurely will dry out the gel and ruin them.
🚑 Official Guide: Where to Place AED Pads
Proper placement is crucial for the shock to travel through the heart. Here are the three standard methods:
1. Anterolateral Placement (Standard for Adults)
This is the most common method. It sends the shock directly through the heart muscle.
- Right Pad: Place on the right side of the chest, just below the collarbone.
- Left Pad: Place on the left side, a few inches below the armpit (on the ribcage).
2. Anteroposterior Placement (Alternative & Children)
Use this method if the victim has a pacemaker (look for a lump under the skin on the upper chest) or if the victim is a small child.
- Front Pad: Place one pad on the center of the chest.
- Back Pad: Place the other pad on the back, between the shoulder blades.
3. Pediatric Placement (Children Under 8)
For infants and small children (under 55 lbs), use Pediatric Pads if available. These reduce the energy level. If missing, you may use Adult pads, but ensure they do not touch. Use the Front/Back placement method to prevent overlapping.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
AED pads use a water-based gel to stick to the skin and conduct electricity. Over time (usually 2 years), this gel dries up. If you use expired pads, they may not stick, or worse, they may not deliver the shock needed to save a life.
Yes, in an emergency. If Pediatric pads are not available, use Adult pads with the Front/Back placement (one on chest, one on back) to ensure they do not touch.
