Publication number: 20210219993Abstract: The invention is a system and a device for use in open or minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as a bone implant fixation procedure. The device is configured to perform various functions during a bone implant fixation procedure, including performing at least one of: penetration of a bone to form a hole or opening for receipt of a screw; neuromonitoring, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole so as to sense any nearby nerves adjacent to the hole that may be in the path of a screw, or otherwise affected, when a screw is placed within the hole; neurostimulation, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of nerves adjacent to the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole; and measuring of a depth of the hole and providing a digital measurement of the depth to assist the surgeon in selecting the appropriate length of screw.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Inventors: Tomas Matusaitis, Kenneth Hoos, Christopher Wilson, Robert F. Rioux, Nitin Khanna, Frank Phillips, Jim A. Youssef, Aniruddha Raina, Antonio Belton
