DryTouch
Suction Stimulator
Frazier Suction Integrated With Monopolar Stimulation
Product Overview
DryTouch Suction Stimulator is a Frazier-style, monopolar stimulating suction probe designed for intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). By integrating precision suction with triggered EMG (tEMG) stimulation, DryTouch enhances nerve identification and preservation while maintaining a clear surgical field.
Built for seamless IONM compatibility, DryTouch optimizes surgical workflow by eliminating unnecessary instrument exchanges and ensuring reliable EMG response in ENT, skull base, and neurosurgical procedures.
Overall, DryTouch maintains a clear surgical field and reduces the potential current shunting of applied stimulation.

Product Features
Frazier Suction With tEMG Integration
DryTouch is a Frazier suction tube with a custom handle and control valve that delivers triggered EMG (tEMG) for IONM neuromonitoring. The unique Suction Stimulator enables maximum control of suction and continuous monopolar stimulation to support a maximal tumor resection¹.
Intuitive Device For Brain Mapping, Tumor Resection
The all-in-one device can improve suction control while identifying the critical areas related to the central and peripheral nervous system. DryTouch is approved to be used beneath the blood-brain barrier, providing real-time cortical and subcortical motor mapping.
Universal Interoperability
DryTouch have a pre-attached lead wire with a standard DIN connector that is compatible with Nerveäna or any nerve monitoring system.
The Frazier handpiece features a tapered connector that attaches to standard suction tubing. The unique design is interoperable and priced for value-based care.
