This is the fourth generation of the sophisticated high-precision instrument used by surgeons and medical professionals around the world to position electrodes during stereotactic interventions and in deep brain stimulation.
The inomed MicroDrive was developed in cooperation with leading international practitioners and experts. The resulting standards and specifications set by the experts were extremely high. inomed has delivered on the specifications required and achieved mechanical precision delivering unique performance. The inomed MicroDrive is known to most specialists in the field and the device is favored for deep brain recording and stimulation applications.
Professionals and subject matter experts use the MicroDrive routinely. Using the inomed MicroDrive delivers the best possible neurophysiologically targeted diagnostics (deep brain recording and stimulation).
Modern imaging technology can identify physical structures of the brain, however, imaging modalities alone are not able to clearly and finitely identify target areas. In addition to this, target location can be affected by brain shift or indeed the functional target point may differ from the imaging results. For all of these reasons, microelectrode recording is used to further improve target point localization and precision. Precise localization, recording and stimulation are particularly important for DBS and neurmodulation procedures. For this entire spectrum of uses, the inomed MicroDrive is an indispensable tool. Correct application of the MicroDrive enables users to determine the optimum target point, for optimal treatment outcome in deep brain stimulation (DBS).
