WaveGuard neonatal caps

The caps are specifically designed to fit well on a baby head shape, which enables high quality recordings much easier and faster than the conventional EEG caps. Moreover, these caps are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, and they have been proven to work well even in the most demanding, intensive care environments in preterm and fullterm babies.

The size of the WaveGuard Neonatal caps is described with the number of a doll. The following chart will be updated shortly to list the circumference of each doll's head. The maximum number of electrodes for this type of caps is 32 channels, except for doll #5 which can also be provided with 64 channels.

At the normal positions of FC1 and FC2, no electrodes are placed; instead, the cap has openings (for other sensors or clinical wires, i.e. IV line).

	Benefits
	Best materials ensure long lifetime of cap Ag/AgCl electrodes provide good quality signals Flexibility in layout: custom electrode configurations on request ANT can make the cap connect to any existing EEG system		High comfort level Easy applications within minutes Electrode gel, especially made for use in neonatal incubators Electrode design together with gel optimized for DC-stability in EEG

Sizes

A full range of sizes is available for optimal usage of the cap. A medium size WaveGuard EEG cap will fit approximately 65 of persons over the age of 8. Refer to the size chart for more detailed information.

Electrode layouts

The WaveGuard cap is available in different electrode layouts. There are layout schemes available of the two main families of the WaveGuard EEG cap.
