Epilepsy
Neurosurgeons around the world look to Ad-Tech for the electrodes used to treat intractable epilepsy.
Together, we’re changing lives.
Depth Electrodes
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.
Ad-Tech depth electrodes have the following features:
- Platinum contacts
- Numbered and color coded for identification
- 19cm depth indicator marker
- Include inner wire stylet to aid in placement
- Sterile, single-use only
*Recording area measurements are available upon request.
Spencer Probe Depth Electrodes
Spencer Probe depth electrodes have the following features:
- 1.1mm diameter
- Includes stay flange for strain relief
- 5mm or 10mm contact spacing
High Density Depth Electrodes
- Smaller contacts with tight spacing options
sEEG Depth Electrodes
Reduced diameter design for less invasive depth electrode placement.
All standard sEEG depth electrodes have the following features:
- 0.86mm diameter
- Various contact spacing options available
Macro-Micro Depth Electrodes
For simultaneous macro and micro contract recordings.
All macro-micro depth electrodes have a 1.3mm diameter
Behnke Fried/Micro Inner Wire Bundle
- Outer macro contact depth that accepts delivery of inner micro wire bundle
- Micro contacts extend past tip of macro depth electrode
All-In-One Macro-Micro
- Various configurations available
- Micro contacts radially spaced on body of depth electrode
Additional Option Depth Electrodes
Neuronavigation
- Used with Neuronavigational devices to assist with accurate placement of depth electrodes

Contoured
Contoured shape may provide more flexibility to conform to the cortical surface
High Density
Tighter spaced options may be available to allow for a dense recording area
Various Tail Options
Single-tail construction to reduce the number of tails tunneled
90˚ perpendicular tail exit design from the center of the electrode that may allow for a smaller craniotomy
Subdural Strip Electrodes
Ad-Tech subdural strip electrodes have the following features:
- Available in platinum or stainless steel
- Non-numbered contacts with reinforcement fiber or available with numbered contacts without reinforcement fiber
- 10mm contact spacing
- 8mm width
- Thin and flexible
- Color coded for identification
- Sterile, single-use only
Narrow-Body
6mm width electrode ideal for burr hole placement
Various Shape Options
“L” and “T” shape offering different tail exit options
Additional Option Subdural Electrodes
Temporal Lobe
Right and left electrodes are designed for the temporal and subtemporal cortex
Interhemispheric Dual-Sided
Mirror-image contacts on both sides of electrode allowing for dual-sided recording
3D Style
6mm indented numbered platinum contacts ideal for intraoperative monitoring
Multi-Strip/Split-Grid
Multi channel electrodes allowing for varied coverage with construction to reduce the number of tails tunneled
