The role of acrylic acid impurity as a sensitizing component in electrocardiogram electrodes

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by (meth)acrylates is well known, both in occupational and in non‐occupational settings. Contact hypersensitivity to electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes containing (meth)acrylates is rarely reported.
