Checkpoint Head & Neck
Checkpoint Head & Neck is a hand-held, single use intra-operative nerve and muscle stimulator designed specifically for head & neck procedures to help 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.

Surgeons can enjoy the following advantages:
- Biphasic waveform allows for safe, repeated stimulation without diminished response
- Can map location of nerve through tissue
- Can localize nerve tissue obscured by scarring, tumor and bone
- Can determine stimulation threshold for motor response
- Can test for changes in nerve function throughout procedures
- Can confirm whether a tissue structure is or is not a nerve
- Can identify individual fascicle groups within a nerve
- Is a surgeon-controlled, low cost disposable
- Does not require additional personal
- Can be re-stocked and used later if unneeded in case
Checkpoint Head & Neck is most commonly used in these three procedures:
Neck Dissection
Reliably locate nerves in altered anatomy or any time nerves are at risk
Parotidectomy
Confidently identify motor nerves during surgical exposure
Thyroidectomy
Evaluate nerve and muscle function for surgical decision-making
