Checkpoint Surgical Advanced Neurodevices for Better Patient Outcomes Many of the 45 million+ surgeries performed in the U.S. each year pose a significant risk of intraoperative nerve injury or require careful nerve repair. Checkpoint Surgical provides surgeons with state-of-the-art neurodevices to locate and identify nerves and evaluate nerve and muscle function in surgical procedures. Providing surgeons with the proper tools promoting “neuroprotective surgery” helps them make better surgical decisions with greater confidence.
