Catalog Number: mT Insertion Tubes
Our insertion tubes are designed to be used with our microTargeting electrodes or any other probes such as stimulation electrodes or lesion electrodes to assure straightness of the tracks over long distances for efficient positioning. Our insertion tubes are provided with their mating stylets and are available in a variety of lengths and diameters. Contact us to arrange a special order or to inquire about sterile configuration, in convenient individual boxes.
All our insertion tubes are provided with a mating stylet to prevent tissue coring during insertion.
Single Electrode Insertion Tubes Sets
Our Single Electrode Insertion Tube Sets includes an insertion tube/stylet and a spacer tube. The spacer tube assures alignment of the thinner recording microelectrode (ordered separately) and is removed prior to positioning the stimulating or lesion electrode without removal of the outer guide tube from its final position.
STar™ Array Electrode Insertion Tube Set
Our STar™ Array Electrode Insertion Tube Set features a simplified 2-tube set that eliminates the need for a lower guide and array spacer tubes. Both tubes are held in the STar™ Array Locking Carrier with a single thumb screw. The microelectrode (ordered separately) is inserted into the insertion tube for recording. The electrode and tubes move together in this configuration. When a track is selected, the microelectrode is removed and the tubes are lifted out with the new STar™ Array Insertion Tube Extractor. The Lead Insertion Tube/Stylet is then positioned in the same track.
Contact FHC to order your insertion tubes in the sterile configuration.
Important benefits of sterile tubes include:
• READY TO USE ‐ Eliminates the need for sterilization at the hospital. Reduces hospital operational costs while increasing convenience.
