The Medtronic Xomed 8227419 Prass Paired EMG Electrode is a specialized device designed for intraoperative nerve monitoring, particularly during procedures requiring precise identification and preservation of neural structures. This electrode features a 4-channel configuration with an 18 mm needle length, making it suitable for accessing deeper or more challenging anatomical sites. The 2.5 mm spacing between electrode tips allows for detailed recording of muscle activity, essential for accurate nerve localization.

One of the standout features of the 8227419 model is its small hub design, which provides an ergonomic and low-profile interface, facilitating easier insertion and minimizing interference in confined surgical spaces. The Prass paired electrode design ensures sharp, lancet-tipped needles that penetrate the skin gently, reducing patient discomfort and improving procedural efficiency. Additionally, the electrodes are insulated to within 5 mm of the tip, enhancing safety by preventing unintended stimulation of surrounding tissues.

Clinically, this electrode is utilized in conjunction with Medtronic's Nerve Monitoring Systems, such as the NIM-Response® and NIM-Neuro® models, to provide real-time feedback on neural activity. This capability is crucial during surgeries involving critical nerve structures, such as thyroidectomies or parotidectomies, where preserving nerve function is paramount. The single-use, sterile packaging ensures optimal hygiene and reduces the risk of cross-contamination, aligning with best practices in surgical settings.
