No-Touch Precision Microsurgery at Your Fingertips.
The BeamPath™ NEURO system places control in the hands of Neurosurgeons by providing a no-touch, precision microsurgical tool in the form of a CO2 laser scalpel. The BeamPath NEURO’s intuitive design and maneuverability allow the surgeon to direct CO2 laser energy as a precision tool to deep holes and around critical structures such as blood vessels, specific nerve structures, and brainstem.
The versatility of this enhanced scalpel is controlled by the neurosurgeon who also has superior visualization due to the tool’s small profile design. Its no-touch virtue leads to reduced tissue manipulation and may lessen post-operative edema and ensuing complications. The BeamPath NEURO’s pin-point accuracy enables separation of adherent tumors from critical structures. Cutting allows for rapid and safe removal of tumors and tumor remnants. Debulking shrinks tumor mass in a controlled, layer-by-layer, fashion. Microvascular coagulation enables the surgeon to dissect appropriate tumors within a clean field. The hollow core of the fiber delivers a cooling flow of inert gas that clears the surgical field of blood and debris, improves coagulation, and minimizes tissue heating. Finally, the fiber may be used to vaporize the tumor in an attempt to further eliminate remaining cancerous cells from the underlying central nervous system structures . The fiber is delivered to the target tissue via OmniGuide’s custom neurosurgical handpieces and may be used in “open” intracranial and spinal oncology as well as in transnasal endoscopic / microscopic procedures.
The BeamPath NEURO system combines precise dissection, cutting, debulking, and microvascular coagulation into one versatile and intuitive tool. OmniGuide® is dedicated to expanding the reach of minimally invasive surgery.
