Application of stimulus probes

A neural stimulation probe is a surgical instrument used for monitoring/diagnosing neural function, typically used in conjunction with devices of neural monitoring or diagnostic systems. The stimulation electrical signals emitted by the devices of the neural monitoring system are transmitted along the neural stimulation probe to the monitored tissue or implant, further detecting the neural response of the stimulation electrical signal. The purpose of this monitoring is not only to determine the safety of the nerve function of the target tissue, but also to find a safety threshold to prevent nerve function damage. Continuous monitoring during surgical procedures is necessary to avoid any potential permanent neurological damage caused by surgical errors. However, in many cases, due to differences in the surgical site, the patient's anatomy may vary. Surgeons need to adjust the direction of the probe to reach the site of surgery, which not only requires high skills from the surgeon, but also increases the risk of nerve damage during surgery.
