WISE Cortical Strip

In neurosurgery, cortical monitoring is the only source of real-time information used to guide intraoperative decisions and protect eloquent brain areas. 1 Yet the tools used to deliver it often fall short. Conventional cortical strips can be too rigid to conform closely to the brain’s surface, 2 resulting in inconsistent electrode contact, variable signal quality, and the need for repositioning, interruptions that disrupt surgical flow and reduce confidence in interpretation.4 The WISE Cortical Strip® (WCS®) changes this. Built on patented technology that embeds platinum within soft, ultra-thin silicone, the WCS® conforms closely to the brain surface rather than sitting rigidly on top of it like conventional strips. 2,4 This conformability maintains consistent, even electrode contact across the intended area, including irregular areas that conventional strips struggle to reach, 2,6 reducing signal dropouts and supporting continuous, reliable intraoperative monitoring throughout the procedure.4 The result? Continuous signals, fewer interruptions, and the confidence to make informed decisions while protecting eloquent brain areas.2,7 WCS®. Continuous monitoring. Stable contact. Reliable signals when decisions matter most.
