Why Stimulating Dissection Instrument (SDI)?
During intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in thyroid surgery, the need for frequent shifting between the dissecting instruments and stimulating probe is troublesome and time-consuming.
Overview
The SDI is used as a combination of EMG stimulating probe and dissecting forceps. The instrument provides real-time nerve identification, allowing for the surgeons use their dissecting techniques to evoke EMG activity. Simultaneously enabling precise dissection and nerve mapping.
SDI is available in popular hemostat patterns, including curved tip and mixter (right angle) tip.
FEATURES
Combination of stimulator probe and surgical forceps
This surgeon-driven product provides an effective way to monitor the nerve's function instantly during the risky phase of RLN injury in thyroid surgery. It also provides surgeons with real-time feedback of EMG response and can be applied as a tool for the detection of EMG signals. 1
With application of SDI, there is no need to swap tools during a complex surgery, which reduce surgery time and increase patient outcomes. This tool also decreases the learning curve of IONM system for the surgeons. streamlining the process.
