FAQs
waveguard™ net is a saline-soaked EEG net designed for fast, gel-free EEG recording. It uses saline-soaked sponge electrodes to provide high-quality, research-grade EEG signals while reducing preparation time compared with traditional gel-based EEG caps. Its flexible, lightweight design supports comfortable EEG recordings across a wide range of applications.
Unlike traditional gel-based EEG caps, waveguard net uses saline-soaked sponge electrodes instead of conductive EEG gel. The application process is simple: soak, apply, and record. This gel-free approach reduces preparation time and avoids the need to apply conductive gel to individual electrodes.
The main benefits of waveguard net are fast setup, gel-free application, high-density EEG recording, reliable signal quality, flexibility, and subject comfort. Saline-soaked sponge electrodes simplify application, while integrated amplifiers and active shielding help reduce environmental noise and support high-quality EEG recordings.
waveguard net is designed for EEG research and high-density EEG applications that require fast preparation, flexibility, reliable signal quality, and subject comfort. Its range of channel configurations and sizes makes it suitable for different research and recording requirements, from neonatal and infant applications through to adults.
Yes. waveguard net is a CE class I (EU) and FDA class II medical device, built for clinical use. It uses a saline-soaked, gel-free application for fast setup, prewired Ag/AgCl electrodes for high signal quality, and up to 3 hours of recording without rehydration. It comes in 6 sizes for a secure fit and connects to any third-party EEG amplifier.
waveguard net is designed for rapid EEG setup using a simple three-step process: soak, apply, and record. Because there is no need to apply conductive gel to individual electrodes, preparation can be significantly faster than with conventional gel-based EEG caps.
No. waveguard net is a gel-free EEG net. Instead of conductive gel, it uses saline-soaked sponge electrodes to establish the electrode-skin interface for EEG recording.
waveguard net features a flexible, lightweight, laser-cut silicone structure designed for a comfortable and secure fit. A securing ring helps retain the sponge electrodes and allows the sponges to be replaced when required.
waveguard net is designed to be flexible, lightweight, and comfortable during EEG recordings. It is available in different sizes for different head circumferences and shapes, from neonatal and infant sizes through to adult sizes. A chin strap provides additional stability and supports self-application.
waveguard net is available in different sizes to accommodate different head circumferences and shapes, from neonatal and infant sizes to adult sizes. This range helps provide an appropriate fit for different subjects and recording requirements.
The sponge electrodes are the replaceable consumable component of waveguard net. The net incorporates a securing ring that helps retain the sponges and facilitates their replacement.
waveguard net uses saline-soaked sponge electrodes with Ag/AgCl electrodes. The electrodes are designed to provide high-quality EEG recordings without the need for conductive gel. The electrode design also incorporates integrated amplifiers to help minimise noise.
waveguard net is designed to provide stable, high-quality EEG signals without conductive gel. A peer-reviewed study by Günther et al. compared sponge EEG using waveguard net with routine EEG and reported that sponge EEG was equivalent in signal quality while being faster to apply.
Yes. waveguard net incorporates active shielding technology designed to reduce
environmental electrical noise, including 50/60 Hz interference. Together with integrated amplifiers, active shielding helps support cleaner and more reliable EEG signals, including in electrically demanding environments.
waveguard net is available in configurations from 24 to 256 EEG channels, including equidistant and extended 10/20 layouts. Custom electrode layouts are available on request.
Yes. In addition to standard equidistant and extended 10/20 electrode layouts, custom electrode layouts can be requested. This allows waveguard net to be configured for specific high-density EEG research requirements.
waveguard net is fully compatible with ANT Neuro eego™ hub, eego™ mylab, and eego™ sports EEG systems. This provides seamless integration with the eego amplifier platform.
waveguard net is CE marked as a Class I medical device under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and is registered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) in compliance with the Australian TG(MD)R. waveguard net caps also have FDA 510(k) class II medical device clearance in the United States. Regulatory status and permitted use may vary by country.
waveguard net comes with a 1-year warranty.
