NCC’s disposable corkscrew needle electrodes feature an integrated design that combines all necessary components into a single unit. This design simplifies the connection process, reducing the likelihood of errors during setup. Even inexperienced users can easily connect the labeled consumables, making these electrodes accessible for a wide range of medical professionals.

 2. Robust Anti-Interference Capability

One of the standout features of NCC’s integrated consumables is their robust anti-interference capability. This ensures that external electrical noise does not compromise the accuracy of waveform readings. Enhanced waveform accuracy is crucial for obtaining reliable data during procedures such as electromyography (EMG) or electroencephalography (EEG), where precision is essential for diagnosis and treatment.

 3. Versatile Measurement Modalities

NCC’s disposable corkscrew needle electrodes offer flexible configurations to accommodate various measurement modalities. These include:

- Electromyography (EMG)

- Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP)

- Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEP)

- Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP)

- Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP)

- Electroencephalography (EEG)

- Train-of-Four (TOF) monitoring

- Pedicle screw placement

This versatility makes them suitable for different surgical needs, particularly in spinal surgery and neurosurgery.

 4. Compact and Lightweight Design

The master control box accompanying NCC’s disposable corkscrew needle electrodes is designed to be compact and lightweight, enhancing portability. This feature is particularly advantageous in surgical settings where space may be limited or when equipment needs to be transported between locations.
