Our Products are generally used in the diagnosis of neurological and neuromuscular disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome, epilepsy and many others.  We offer high quality needle electrodes, disposable and reusable EEG cups and other surface electrodes, electrode-caps, contact lens electrodes, electrode gels/pastes/creams and related accessories for both human and veterinary applications.  Needle electrodes are our specialty, and include monopolar needle electrodes, such as our top of the line Protectrode® series, concentric needle electrodes, hypodermic needles for EMG-guided botulinum toxin injections, and subdermal EEG and IONM/IOM needle electrodes.  Our needles are made from the highest quality surgical suture stainless steel, coated with a proprietary coating for insulation and ease of insertion, and are conically sharpened (cone-shaped or pencil-pointed) to produce minimal bleeding during and after the examination.
