Why do patients using Cala Therapy need a new band?

Cala Therapy band uses a proprietary skin interface, improving the experience of sticky hydrogel electrodes. The band can be used for months before needing to be replaced. The performance of the band deteriorates with exposure to dry skin, skins oils, and dust. Over the course of months, the band is eventually unable to support effective therapy. Cala Therapy informs the user five days before a band needs to be replaced. Cala Health automatically supplies Cala Therapy patients with one band every 3 months to maintain effective therapy.

Does the band need to be replaced even if the patient isn’t stimulating every day?

Yes; the performance of the band deteriorates with exposure to dry skin, skin oils, and dust. Over the course of months, the band is eventually unable to support effective therapy.
