Depth Electrodes

Neurosurgeons around the world look to Ad-Tech for the electrodes used to treat intractable epilepsy.
Together, we’re changing lives.

The industry standard, Ad-Tech electrodes have the feel, the quality, and the reliability surgeons love. 

Epilepsy/LTM* depth electrodes are used for monitoring/mapping the subsurface levels of the brain for the surgical treatment of epilepsy.
