Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses an innovative method for dynamic continuous mapping of the corticospinal tract during neurosurgery, particularly for tumor resection. This method, developed by Raabe, utilizes a Mapping Suction Probe to enhance surgical precision and safety.

Application Fields
The primary application is in neurosurgery, focusing on protecting the corticospinal tract and motor cortex during tumor resection.

Methodology
The method involves dynamic continuous subcortical mapping, which allows for safe tumor resection by minimizing the risk of damage to the corticospinal tract. The Mapping Suction Probe enables maximal tumor removal while maintaining low motor thresholds. The procedure starts with a 10 mA current, adjusting based on motor responses, with a rule of thumb that 1 mm distance equals approximately 1 mA.

Equipment
The Mapping Suction Probe combines a surgical suction tube with a monopolar electrical stimulation probe, allowing for simultaneous suction and mapping. It features a 2mm active tip and is compatible with standard monopolar stimulation parameters.

Benefits
The method simplifies maximal tumor resection without changing instruments, supported by continuous audio feedback to indicate motor responses. This approach enhances surgical precision and reduces the risk of postoperative complications.

Features
The probe provides continuous audio feedback, with low-pitched sounds indicating motor responses and high-pitched sounds confirming no motor response, allowing safe continuation of resection.

Conclusion
The Mapping Suction Probe represents a significant advancement in neurosurgical procedures, offering precision, innovation, and improved patient outcomes through enhanced intraoperative neuromonitoring.

> Mapping Method by RAABE >> METHOD Dynamic continuous subcortical mapping simplifies a safe tumor resection. The ability to resect a tumor down to low motor thresholds is a significant refinement of the classic subcortical mapping of the corticospinal tract. The use of the Mapping Suction Probe makes it possible to achieve maximal tumor removal minimizing the possibility of damage to the corticospinal tract. >> Mapping starts with 10 mA (ca. 10 mm distance to the corticospinal tract) >> Current intensity is proportional to the distance of the corticospinal tract (Rule of thumb: 1mm ≈ 1 mA) Audio...
