A surgical tool is disclosed that is capable of communicating wireless with either a neural integrity monitoring sys-tem or a surgical navigation system. The surgical tool includes electronic circuitry operable to provide a neural stimulation signal to a surgical instrument connected with the tool. If a predetermined response is received by the neural integrity monitoring system, it is capable of automatically stopping rotation of the surgical instrument. Further, if a predetermined safe threshold is breached or about to be breached, the surgical navigation system is operable to automatically stop rotation of the surgical instrument. In addi-tion, the surgical tool is provided with audio and visual feedback of the neurological status of the patient.
La présente invention concerne un outil chirurgical capable de communiquer sans fil soit avec un système de surveillance dintégrité neuronale soit avec un système de navigation chirurgical. Loutil chirurgical comprend des circuits électroniques utilisables pour fournir un signal de stimulation neuronale à un instrument chirurgical relié à loutil. Si une réponse prédéterminée est reçue par le système de surveillance dintégrité neuronale, il est capable dinterrompre automatiquement la rotation de linstrument chirurgical. De plus, si un seuil de sécurité prédéterminé est dépassé ou sur le point dêtre dépassé, le système de navigation chirurgical peut fonctionner pour interrompre automatiquement la rotation de linstrument chirurgical. De plus, loutil chirurgical est pourvu dun retour audio et visuel de létat neurologique du patient.
