CHECKPOINT - Model EDGE -Nerve Cutting Kit
Successful nerve repair starts with preparation. Traditional nerve cutting techniques may flatten and crush nerve tissue, leaving nerve ends misshapen and difficult to align. The CHECKPOINT EDGE™ Nerve Cutting Kit employs circumferential constraint to maintain the nerve’s natural shape during transection. Constraining the nerve in this manner can prevent nerve sliding, flattening and subsequent nerve edge malformation, helping to preserve fascicular group alignment and tissue integrity.
In addition to supportive constraint and nerve preservation, the Checkpoint Edge forceps are designed to empower surgeon independence. The head design permits a secure, single-handed hold that both grasps the sacrificial nerve zone to allow tensioning and gently constrains the nerve to be preserved. The cutting slot facilitates a right-angle cut with the other hand. Surgeon control of placement, tension, and transection reduces variability, facilitating reliable, consistent nerve tissue preparation for aligned coaptation.
SIZING GUIDE
An integrated sizing guide measures minimum and maximum nerve diameters.
PRESERVED SIDE
The preserved side of the multi-purpose head maintains circumferential support of the nerve.
SACRIFICIAL SIDE
The sacrificial side of the multi-purpose head holds the sacrificial nerve zone.
CUTTING SLOT
Cutting slot guides standard blades (≤1 mm thick). Yellow stripes indicate the sacrificial nerve zone.
