ASSISTING SURGEONS. PROTECTING PATIENTS.

The ProPep^® Nerve Monitoring System is the first FDA-cleared real-time nerve monitoring system for laparoscopic & robotic prostatectomy surgery. This system helps surgeons identify critical non-visible somatic nerves at risk during surgery, thereby allowing the surgeon to make more-informed decisions on how to spare these nerves, potentially minimizing nerve damage.

As a patient you should know that this type of nerve identification technology is standard of care for thyroid and parotid surgery, both cancerous glands that need to be removed with vital nerves at risk in doing so.
