Technomed Disposable Subdermal Hooked EEG Needle Electrode (24/Pkg)

Yes, the Technomed electrode is specifically engineered for enhanced stability and better retention during EEG monitoring.

This stability is achieved through its precise, hooked needle design:

• Material and Gauge: It features a single stainless steel needle with a 0.45 mm diameter (26 Gauge).
• Dimensions: The needle measures 12 mm in length.
• Retention Feature: The needle is precisely bent at a 35 00b0 angle. This unique geometry provides firm subdermal anchoring, which helps minimize movement and signal artifacts during recording sessions.

Important Note: These electrodes are intended strictly for recording purposes only and are not suitable for use in stimulation procedures.

Yes, these disposable subdermal hooked EEG needle electrodes are supplied sterile and ready for immediate clinical use, prioritizing patient safety during monitoring procedures.

Sterility is ensured through the following specifications:

• Sterilization Method: The electrodes are sterilized using the rigorous Ethylene Oxide (EtO) process.
• Shelf Life: They maintain their guaranteed sterility for an extended period of 36 months, provided the original packaging remains unopened.

Each package contains 24 disposable Subdermal Hooked EEG Needle Electrodes.

For streamlined setup and easy identification during procedures, these 24 electrodes are organized into four sets featuring six distinct colors: Red, Green, Black, White, Yellow, and Blue.

No, these disposable electrodes are strictly intended for EEG recording and monitoring purposes only. They must not be used for stimulation of any kind. Their unique design, featuring a 35° bent stainless steel needle, is optimized for enhanced subdermal placement stability during recording sessions.

The electrodes are constructed using materials specifically chosen for reliable and stable subdermal EEG monitoring:

• Needle: The single, bent needle is made from stainless steel. It is precisely manufactured to be 12 mm long with a 0.45 mm (26 Gauge) diameter, featuring a 35° bend for enhanced stability and placement retention.
• Wires: The connecting leads utilize durable, multi-colored PVC material. The six colors (Red, Green, Black, White, Yellow, and Blue) assist in rapid channel identification.
• Connectors: The wires terminate with standard Safety DIN 42 802 connectors.

These disposable electrodes are designed with a long shelf life, provided the sterile packaging remains intact:

• The shelf life for unopened pouches is 36 months.
• The electrodes are sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EtO).
• The product is warranted and remains sterile until it is used or its expiration date is reached.

The Technomed Subdermal Hooked EEG Needle Electrodes utilize Safety DIN 42 802 connectors.

This specific connector type ensures secure and reliable connection with compatible monitoring equipment used in professional EEG applications.

The Technomed electrode uses a specialized, bent stainless steel needle designed for superior stability and adherence during EEG procedures.

Here are the precise specifications:

• Material: Stainless steel
• Type: Bent, Hooked
• Length: 12 mm
• Diameter: 0.45 mm (26 Gauge)
• Bend Angle: 35°

The 35° bend is a key feature, creating a secure ‘hooked’ placement to minimize displacement during continuous monitoring.

The Technomed Subdermal Hooked EEG Needle Electrodes are available in three different wire lengths to accommodate various monitoring setups:

• 1.5 m
• 2.0 m
• 2.5 m

These Technomed Disposable Subdermal Hooked EEG Needle Electrodes are manufactured in the US.
