Myoguide Injection Guidance System = Peripheral Nerve Stimulator!

By Dr. Evan Friedman | April 13, 2022

While the Myoguide System is better known for being a world class, EMG/STIM BotNT injection guidance system, the USFDA classification includes “Electrical Peripheral Nerve Stimulator”.   We can underline the fact that Myoguide has a very well featured, integrated stimulator designed for both nerve and muscle stimulation. In fact, it is Myoguide’s capability of being continuously upgradeable,…

Best Electrode Practices

By Dr. Evan Friedman | April 4, 2022

Myoguide input cable EMG and STIM guidance procedures require a quality hypodermic needle electrode and two surface electrodes. The needle electrode plugs into Myoguide’s black connector. One surface electrode is connected to the green connector and is for the ground, and the other connects to the red connector and is for the reference. I heard the…

Myoguide Power:  Alkaline Versus NiMH Rechargeable Batteries

By Dr. Evan Friedman | March 28, 2022

Even though the NiMH rechargeable batteries have a lower specified capacity (2300mAH) and lower voltage (1.2V) compared to a typical Duracell ProCell Alkaline AA battery (2850mAH, 1.5V), they tend to provide more capacity in a higher current draw situation. The following article covers Myoguide Battery Strategies to get the longest battery life. NiMH rechargeable batteries…

Optimizing EMG/ESTIM BoNT injection Guidance

By Dr. Evan Friedman | March 21, 2022

We would like to review Myoguide electrode Strategies for Optimizing EMG/ESTIM BoNT Injection Guidance Results. We have been received quite a few inquiries about what the optimal surface electrode placement approaches should be for procedures involving injection guidance using hypodermic needle electrodes and Myoguide EMG/ESTIM BoNT injection guidance system. Firstly, I would like to refer…

Chemodenervation & Neurolytic Procedures

By Dr. Evan Friedman | November 16, 2019

Motor point chemodenervation or chemical neurolytic procedures require low current stimulation location in the order of 0.2-0.5 mA, depending on the stimulation pulse width.  Pulse width is an essential part of the stimulation delivery.  Narrower pulse widths deliver the current pulse over the duration of the pulse width.  This means that the energy delivered is short for short…
