Comparison of Disposable and Reusable EEG Electrodes: A Scientific Literature Review
By Amy Banks
Abstract Scientific research has established that disposable EEG electrodes play a crucial role in reducing cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in electroencephalography procedures. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated that reusable EEG electrodes pose a significant risk of infection, with contamination rates as high as 25% even after proper cleaning protocols are followed. The evidence supports … Continued
