Checkpoint Head & Neck

NERVE STIMULATOR / LOCATOR

Checkpoint Surgical’s nerve stimulation devices inform intraoperative decision making to help surgeons safely and effectively protect, assess and repair motor nerves during surgeries.

Checkpoint Head & Neck provides visual confirmation of nerve function and location for head and neck surgeries, protecting nerves even in obscured anatomy. All Checkpoint stimulators may be used safely for sustained or repeated nerve stimulation without diminished response.

"I've used Checkpoint in well over 400 cases. Over the last 2 or 3 years, I've expanded my use of Checkpoint to any case in which nerves are at risk, including all of my thyroidectomy cases."

HEAD AND NECK APPLICATIONS

CONFIDENTLY IDENTIFY MOTOR NERVES

Confirm whether or not a tissue structure is a motor nerve
Confirm motor nerve response by tetanic contraction
Identify individual motor nerve branches through soft tissue and tumor

RELIABLY LOCATE NERVES IN ALTERED ANATOMY

Map location of motor nerves through tissue to facilitate dissection
Localize motor nerve tissue obscured by scarring and tumor
Safely stimulate nerves repeatedly and continuously without diminished motor response

EVALUATE NERVE AND MUSCLE FUNCTION

Safely and reliably stimulate nerves
Easily palpate muscle response
