Colleagues:
Thanks for your kind and rapid reactions to my request. Below is a
summary of all the replies I received. I must mention Gene Jamison
(spl.) from the Sports Med Inst in Birmingham, AL, who took the time
and called me on the phone (due to email difficulties). Regards, Tibor.
Tibor,
We were using them about 2 years ago (not much since then). As I
recall, we got the elctrodes from Nicolet. According to the box they
came in:
44 gauge, 100 mm paired hook wires
27 gauge, 30 mm cannula
They were also available unpaired as I recall, but most subjects were
not particularly thrilled by the prospect of being stuck twice for
each muscle.
Hope this helps.

I have lots of fine-wire experience, but not coupled with Noraxon. I
used the Motion MA 100's. It can be a very tedious set-up. I do have
some configuration suggrestions if you are interested.
Take Care,

Tibor:
We use Stablohn 800-B with H-Poly nylon green insulation, size 0.002,
with
our Noraxon system. The approximate cost is $135.00 for a roll of 1000
ft.
The wire can be purchased from the California Fine Wire company, address
below. We then purchase 27 Gauge 1 1/2 inch hypodermic needles from our
health center.
Say Hi to Paul. I used to work in Illinois with him.

Tibor,
Manufacturer: California Fine Wire
Stablohm (stainless steel) 50 micron (.001") diameter with teflon
insulation (ref Basmajian '85)
This is better than the platinum/iridium (?) which is softer, more
expensive and breaks too easily.
Are you sure you want to get into this? Talk to me!
Torry might even be able to send you a sample if it doesn't take him a
month to find it!
