A nerve-locating system probe is a single-use surgical tool designed to help surgeons identify nerves during open procedures. By delivering precise electrical impulses, it stimulates neural tissue and measures responses—useful for tasks like electromyography or cortical mapping to avoid nerve damage or guide precise dissection.
These probes are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with electrical safety standards. They’re supplied sterile and pre-packaged for one-time use, often paired with an external pulse generator. Classification varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally considered for use in neurosurgery, orthopedics, or plastic surgery.
