Nerve-locating system probe, reusable

A nerve-locating system probe is a hand-held surgical instrument used to identify nerves during open surgical procedures. It works by delivering controlled electrical impulses to tissue and measuring the resulting neural response, aiding in nerve localization for both surgical guidance and diagnostic applications such as electromyography or cortical mapping.

This category includes reusable devices designed to be sterilized before each use, typically in the form of needle probes or surgical forceps that connect to an external electrical pulse generator. As reusable instruments, they are subject to reprocessing requirements and are regulated based on their intended use and design, with individual devices undergoing conformity assessment according to applicable medical device regulations.
