Silverstein Facial Nerve Monitor

The Silverstein provides a simple, non-invasive method of providing the best patient care for your ear surgery patients. A strain-guage sensor placed in the corner of the patient's mouth detects facial contractions, signified by an audible signal, and a sterile tip probe delivers precise amounts of current to the facial nerve during surgery.

• Provides early identification of the facial nerve by using electrical stimulators in soft tissue, tumor, and bone. 
• Signals unintentional mechanical stimulation of the facial nerve during surgery. 
• Allows mapping of the facial nerve in the temporal bone or tumor using electrical stimulation 
• Reduces mechanical trauma to the facial nerve during tumor dissection. 
• Provides a method for evaluation and prognosis of facial nerve function at the conclusion of the surgery. 
• Enhances patient care.
