THE VYCOR VIEWSITE BRAIN ACCESS SYSTEM (VBAS) is a family of retractor and brain access devices of varying shapes and sizes designed for providing diagnostic and surgical access to various portions of the brain and spine. It has been designed to serve as a self-retaining retractor system for brain tissue. It is comprised of an introducer and a working channel or port that are secured by a spring-loaded latch. Each device allows for the gentle retraction of tissue, visualization of the surgical site and for the smooth manipulation of introduced instruments. The range of device sizes (width and length) provides various working channel sizes.
A non-sterile absorbent textile material intended to be applied in skin folds or where skin-to-skin contact occurs (e.g., armpits, under the breasts, stomach, groin, and between fingers or toes) to prevent or reduce skin-to-skin friction, moisture, and irritation/inflammation; it is not intended to be used on open wounds. It is made of natural and/or synthetic materials and contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag)]. This is a single-patient reusable device.
