Device typeSubdermal needle electrode: A sterile, multi-purpose electrical conductor inserted beneath the dermal layer of a patient's skin to record/monitor electrical activity (biopotentials) for physiological measurements [typically electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked-potential) and often to provide electrical stimulation. It typically consists of thin shaft of stainless steel connected to a lead wire that terminates with a safety connector for attachment to recording/monitoring and stimulation systems. This is a single-use device.
