B. Braun HNS-12 with SENSe What is SENSe? The SENSe technology (Sequential Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a sequence of two fixed impulse durations of 0.1 ms along with a third longer impulse duration. This results in getting the first muscle twitch already at a distance from the nerve and requires less adjustments to the amperage control, while maintaining the visual feedback. © Copyright 2010 Xavant Technology

Pajunk MultiStim VARIO/ MultiStim PLEX Source: www.PAJUNK.com User Benefits: Used for nerve stimulation for the identification of peripheral nerves, as well as the percutaneous stimulation of neuromuscular monitoring in general anesthesia Operation with one hand and audio visual signals with adjustable volume allow a full concentration on the patient All required stimulation impulse patterns and frequencies are recallable The bandwidth of the stimulation impulse is adjustable step by step, from 0.1 to 1.0 ms. Available constant current region 0-60 mA, adjustable in 0.1 mA steps The Pause function facilitates the change of the stimulation parameters without impulse output MultiStim Plex The MultiStim PLEX is very easy to handle. The nerve stimulator is used in the plexus anaesthesia particularly for training purposes.
