DESIGN for HEALTHCARE

Medtronic, NIM Probe

TOUCH: The need for touch is never more demanding than when probing for electrical currents during spinal surgery using Nerve Integrity Monitoring (NIM). Metaphase experts worked with Medtronic to design its new ergonomic NIM Probe, which is the first ever to offer high-touch quality and ergonomics in a disposable format. A. The fingertip push-pull toggle switch gives surgeons expert control over the probe's functions. B. The hand piece is weighted to balance in the surgeon's hand for stress free operation and comfort during tight controlled insertions, sensing and probing.
