This NERVE MASTER™ symposium will discuss intraoperative nerve assessment and reconstruction options for challenging upper extremity nerve injuries. The faculty will review the use of nerve stimulation for intraoperative nerve assessment using the CHECKPOINT GUARDIAN™ monopolar and CHECKPOINT GEMINI™ bipolar nerve stimulators to inform nerve reconstruction decisions and enhance surgical outcomes. The symposium will include a discussion of the benefits of chitosan to support the body’s peripheral nerve regeneration process using the CHECKPOINT NEUROSHIELD™ Chitosan Membrane.
