  • Probe stimulator
    Patent number: 9554713
    Abstract: A muscle stimulator that may be used during ARM surgeries is disclosed that may be constructed from (1) a widely available low cost (e.g., $200 per unit) peripheral nerve stimulators or similar stimulator and (2) a relatively simple, handheld surgical probe to provide a low cost muscle stimulator that is adequate for ARM surgeries. These two components could provide a low cost solution to allow doctors in developing countries feasibly perform ARM surgeries with relatively minimal manufacturing and inexpensive maintenance.
