Single mode spinal cord monitoring has been performed by the group since 1989. Specifically, the ISCM technique is used for monitoring the health of the spinal cord during surgical corrections for scoliosis, kyphosis and other degenerative disorders of the spine performed by orthopaedic surgeons.

Sacral Anterior Root Stimulators (SARs)

Specifically the SARs medical devices use electrical stimulation applied to spinal roots to provide bladder, bowel and erection control.
