Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) is an essential technique employed during surgical procedures to protect the nervous system by providing real-time feedback on its functional integrity. Widely used in spine, brain, and nerve surgeries, IOM utilizes advanced tools such as EEG (electroencephalography) and EMG (electromyography) to help prevent neurological injuries. By continuously monitoring neural activity, this technology enables surgical teams to make informed decisions, ensuring enhanced patient safety and improved surgical outcomes. Customers can find a wide range of IOM systems and supplies to meet their needs at MFI Medical, ensuring access to reliable equipment for enhanced patient safety and surgical outcomes.

IOM Systems

One notable IOM system is the Cadwell Cascade, designed to perform a variety of tests simultaneously, including EP (evoked potentials), EMG, EEG, and more. Lightweight and portable, this system offers flexibility by functioning seamlessly with both laptops and desktops. Its amplifier incorporates innovative crosspoint technology, combining the advantages of referential and differential amplifiers for optimal signal clarity. Additionally, the system's unique shielding minimizes interference, while input extenders ensure superior signal fidelity even when the equipment is positioned away from the operating table.

Subdermal Needles

Subdermal needles are indispensable tools in intraoperative monitoring, used to safeguard neural structures from potential damage during surgeries. Made from stainless steel, these thin electrodes are inserted just beneath the skin to record electrical activity from neural sources. Their proximity to neural structures allows for high-quality signals, making them invaluable for monitoring brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve functions. These minimally invasive needles enable precise readings, supporting surgeons in making informed decisions that enhance patient safety and post-operative outcomes.

A standout product in this category is the Rhythmlink Disposable Paired 13 mm Subdermal Needle Electrodes. Known for their exceptional quality, these electrodes are cost-effective and ultra-sharp, allowing precise skin penetration. Designed for both recording and stimulation purposes, they feature high-tensile stainless steel construction and adjustable leadwire separation to accommodate various applications and patient needs. With a durable safety connector and a peel-back pouch for sterile transfer, these electrodes are a reliable choice for clinics and operating rooms.

Transcranial Electrical Stimulators

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) is a non-invasive technique that uses electrical currents applied to the scalp to influence brain activity. It has been widely used in research and as a potential treatment for neurological and psychiatric conditions, such as depression. Although tES devices are generally affordable and portable, their efficacy can vary, emphasizing the importance of standardized guidelines and proper application.

The Cadwell TCS-4 Transcranial Electrical Stimulator is a leading device in this field. This stimulator features four user-selectable outputs, integrates seamlessly with Cascade Surgical Studio software, and delivers powerful pulses of up to 1000 V. With the ability to support multiple TCeMEP (transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials) stimulation montages, the TCS-4 offers exceptional flexibility and reliability, making it a valuable tool for surgical applications.
