A full line of clinical and surgical facial nerve stimulators and monitors to meet varying needs and budgets

WR Medical Electronics Co. manufactures a line of facial nerve monitors and stimulators for use in the operating room during head and neck surgery, and the clinic. Two of these devices, the Silverstein Facial Nerve Monitor/Stimulator, Model S8, and the Brackmann II EMG System, are used to locate and monitor the facial nerve during ear, nose, and throat surgery.
     The Silverstein S8 uses a noninvasive, highly sensitive cheek sensor to detect the muscle movement that results from facial nerve activity. The Brackmann II uses electrodes placed in facial muscles to detect EMG activity that may occur due to manipulation, irrigation, or stimulation of the facial nerve.
     The Hilger Facial Nerve Stimulator, has been the fundamental technique for facial nerve stimulation since 1965, and is used in the clinic to evaluate conditions such as Bell's Palsy.
