A person suffering from brain tumor or epileptic seizure is diagnosed for the problem area by the process called brain mapping. The patient is sedated and the head is fixed in a comfortable position. The surgeon stimulates the patient’s brain with stainless steel electrodes and scientific study is carried out. If the patient had been made mute by the trauma, the electrode is planted in the speech controlled portion of the brain. The link Electrode Agram displays various shapes of stainless steel electrodes used by brain surgeon and their costs. All these probes are packed in sterile environment to be used only once on a patient.

The Corkscrew electrode is better equipment than the conventional disc type. The former does not solicit much preparation or collodion drying time. The 10 millimeter hub fixes the electrode in position while the brain surgery is being conducted. The needle is made of high quality stainless steel and is half a millimeter in diameter and the edge is sharpened at 25 degrees angle. The surgeon uses the electrode for both simulation and recording of data. Six leads marked in different colors are packed as a set.
