INNOVATIVE SURGICAL SOLUTIONS, LLC (ISS) is a technology-driven medical device company, specializing in the development and manufacturing of proprietary nerve monitoring systems. Injury to nerves is a major risk of surgical procedures and protection of nerves becomes an increasing challenge with Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). ISS has pioneered a game-changing method for mapping nerve location, resulting in a monitoring technique that is safer, faster and easier to use than traditional techniques. Conventional nerve monitoring is based on electromyography (EMG), a complex method of measuring muscle activity, which is extremely difficult to interpret. The surgeon must rely on interpretation by a neurophysiologist or use an interface they neither understand nor trust. The surgeon is not in control and interpretation is highly variable and prone to errors. We offer an alternative to EMG. Our product is called NeuralMAS™ and its method of monitoring nerves uses mechanomyography (MMG) which functions by detecting and measuring the mechanical activity in contracting muscle following nerve stimulation. Our NeuralMAS™ Nerve Mapping & Avoidance System can easily locate and map nerves during surgery, ultimately increasing surgeon comfort and patient safety. We have a fully developed product and have received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the device. Our manufacturing and supply chain is located in Michigan and we are planning our market launch for early 2011.
