Applying conductive cream on the cardiac sensors

To ensure accurate cardiac data, it’s important to apply a conductive cream (or water*) to the cardiac sensors (the bronze patches inside the Shirt). Without a conductive agent, the sensors may not properly detect the heart’s electrical signals, leading to unreliable data.

 

Before you start a recording session

  1. Put the shirt on carefully without stretching it too much (for more details, refer to this [link]).

  2. Roll up the lower part of the shirt to expose the abdominal cardiac sensor (bronze patch).

  3. Apply a nickel-sized amount of glycerin-based cream to the abdominal sensor. Do not rub the cream into the fabric — leave it sitting on the surface.

  4. Roll the lower part of the shirt back down.

For the thoracic cardiac sensors

  1. Gently stretch the right-side armpit opening of your shirt until you see one of the thoracic cardiac sensors.

  2. Apply a nickel-sized amount of glycerin-based cream to the sensor. Again, do not rub the cream into the fabric.

  3. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other thoracic sensor.

  4. Fasten the elastic belts.

💡 Important Notes

  • If you use water instead of cream, re-moisten the sensors about every 1–2 hours.

  • If you use cream, reapply about every 24 hours, or whenever you remove and put the shirt back on.

  • During intense physical activity, sweat can substitute for water and maintain conductivity.

✅ Once you’ve applied the cream, simply connect your Hexoskin Device — and you’re ready to record!
