Checkpoint 9394

Nerve Mapping for Head & Neck

Simple, safe, hand-held accurate confirmation and protection of nerve function. Readily available whenever needed in surgical procedures.

Checkpoint Head & Neck

The Checkpoint 9394 Head & Neck is a hand-held, single-use intra-operative nerve and muscle stimulator designed specifically for head & neck procedures. The Checkpoint Head & Neck helps surgeons locate, identify and evaluate motor nerve tissue and muscle function in cases that require careful tissue dissection or nerve exploration and repair. Checkpoint Head & Neck is a true alternative to conventional nerve monitoring.

Biphasic Waveform

Generates biphasic waveform for safe and continuous nerve activation for as long as the stimulation probe is applied

Selective Amplitude Switch

Adjusts stimulus desired for precise, highly individual nerve stimulation and localization (0.5mA, 1.0mA & 2.0mA)

Advanced Electronic Circuitry

Performs continuous circuit and software checks ensuring reliable stimulus parameters are delivered and maintained

Over 400 (and 19 of the top 20)

Testimonials

Surgeons trust the Checkpoint 9094 because it empowers them to confidently & accurately identify motor nerves during surgical exposure

Ho-Sheng Lin, MD, FACS

“Checkpoint has allowed me to consistently identify and reliably confirm the integrity of nerves during thyroid, parathyroid, parotid, and neck dissection and is an indispensable part of my surgical toolkit.”

Dale Baur, DDS

“Checkpoint has proven to be a valuable and reliable tool to locate and protect branches of the facial nerve, especially in the multiply operated patient. The device takes the guesswork out of the surgery.”

Protect, Assess & Confirm

Checkpoint Head & Neck is most commonly used in these three procedures:

Neck Dissection

Confidently identify motor nerves during surgical exposure

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

Parotidectomy

Reliably locate nerves in altered anatomy or any time motor nerves are at risk

Map location of motor nerves through tissue to facilitate dissection
Localize motor nerve tissue obscured by scarring and tumor
Biphasic stimulation allows surgeons to safely stimulate nerves repeatedly and continuously without diminished motor response

Thyroidectomy

Evaluate nerve and muscle function for surgical decision-making

Safe and reliable nerve stimulation
Easy to palpate muscle response
Biphasic stimulation allows for repeated nerve stimulation without diminished response
