EEG Disposable Medical Electrodes |
EEG disposable medical electrodes, or disposable EEG
electrodes, are disposable medical
devices used to monitor the brain activity. They are specifically designed to
provide quality recordings and reduce cross contamination while saving a time
and money as compared to reusable EEG options. EEG
(electroencephalogram) is used to measure the electrical activity of the brain
using a small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. Brain cells
communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even during
asleep.
The EEG
disposable medical electrodes market is estimated to be valued at US$ 655.17 million in 2020
and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of
4.0% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
An EEG also play a vital role in diagnosing other
brain disorders. The electrodes are used
to record electroencephalogram signals from the scalp of patients. These
devices typically include a number of EEG channels, including reference and
ground channels. Electrodes have a variety of different materials and designs.
For example, some are made of a solid gel that can be easily removed and
reapplied without having to remove or clean the skin surface. Others are
constructed of a metallic material that can be applied to the scalp in various
ways, such as a cup, disc, or needle.
For this reason, EEG
disposable medical electrodes, or disposable EEG electrodes, have
become increasingly popular among patients. This type of electrode allows
patients to use the device more frequently and with less hassle, because they
don’t have to worry about having to clean or repair their electrodes. This type
of electrode consists of a circular support disk that is formed of a semi-rigid
hard plastic material. It has an integrally formed embossed recess in its
central portion and a two-piece electrical contact member secured to the raised
central portion of the electrode.
The use of disposable EEG electrodes helps to lower
the risk of contracting HAIs. They also help prevent bacteria and other
microbial infections from entering the patient’s body. Thus, healthcare
professionals prefer to use disposable medical products over reusable ones. In
April 2020, Nihon Kohden (Japan) announced the launch of a new Premium
Disposable Gold Cup EEG Electrode to the healthcare community. The disposable EEG
electrodes helps healthcare workers prevent cross contamination between
patients while maintaining high quality EEG signals.
