Title:
神経刺激針誘導装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3808436
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A target nerve or nerve plexus registration point is percutaneously located using a cutaneous nerve stimulator electrode to elicit response. The electrode includes a tip at the end of a coaxial cylindrical body. A central bore extends through the electrode and carries a nerve stimulator needle. The needle is inserted at the located registration point with the needle path being mechanically guided by the bore, thereby avoiding errant needle passes. A peripheral flange of the body serves as a depth guide in assuring appropriate depression of epidural layers for electrical conductivity and for fixation of the nerve. A nerve stimulator current generator supplies both the percutaneous electrode and the nerve stimulator needle and includes multiple outputs as well as base and variable current setting levels as appropriate for each aspect of the technique and for the specific nerve or nerve plexuses being treated.
