Analytical scalp electrodes are single-use, disposable devices that attach to the scalp to measure brain activity for diagnostic or monitoring purposes. Clinically, they connect to EEG machines, sleep studies, or evoked potential recorders to capture electrical signals from the brain’s surface, aiding in the detection of seizures, sleep disorders, or neurological conditions.
These electrodes are typically regulated as medical devices under general electrical safety and performance standards, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as individual units or small sets, designed for one-time use per patient before disposal, ensuring hygiene and reducing infection risk.
