As a result, the three varieties of the peel-and-stick electrodes can be utilized when patients need 1.5-tesla or 3-tesla MRI scans during intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and electroencephalography surgeries, according to the vendor. The electrodes, which feature a self-adhesive hydrogel design, are each designed to provide either stimulating, grounding, or recording functionality, RhythmLink said.

All Sticky Pad electrodes can also be used during CT exams.
