inomed Releases Spinal Neuromonitoring Software

inomed has unveiled its C2 NerveMonitor, which is optimized for spinal neuromonitoring.

The firm’s C2 spine software combines neuromonitoring in spine surgery with the intuitive operation of the neuromonitoring device. The software guides the surgeon (or clinician) through the program in a few steps to swiftly start monitoring, according to the company. In this way, neuromonitoring in spinal surgery becomes straightforward standard practice.

Users enter patient and surgical data and select the operation level. Color-coded accessories and a corresponding guidance via the software make electrode placement simply, the German company claims.

One of the highlights of the new software is the twitch test for TOF monitoring. It is used automatically, testing the possible pharmacological relaxation status of the patients’ muscles and helps to ensure the smooth recording of signals.

Once the twitch test is completed, it is possible to begin measurement, which enables the testing of the integrity of the pedicles in less than a second.The stable signals – which are simultaneously visualized in a comprehensive display – provide effective monitoring at the pedicle screws, at a glance.

The software automatically saves all responses and muscle stimulation thresholds in a document for subsequent reporting. This allows the verification of any stimulation responses, even retrospectively.
