Micro Instruments for Neurosurgery

MIN Set

Surgical procedures that reduce patient trauma have made minimally invasive procedures one of the main trends in surgery. However, the protection of the close-by organ regions and prevention of functional deficiency remain a challenging task. For this reason, we have designed a specially dedicated set of fine instruments – the Aesculap MIN set.

Micro Coil Scissors

Standard scissors can be damaged when cutting coils, whereas the micro coil scissors, with its robust blades, cuts the wire smoothly.

Advantages

  • Smooth cutting of coil wires 
  • Serrated blades prevent the coil from slipping out of the jaws 
  • Ideal for tough tissue as well 
  • Perfect force transmission – less force to be applied for cutting hard wires

Features

  • Micro scissors made of high quality surgical steel
  • Extremely robust and serrated cutting blades
  • Double hinge for a perfect force transmission
  • Color coded instrument stop button to limit opening width
  • Handle with finger molds offers a safe, balanced grip with high comfort

SENSATION Micro Instruments

SENSATION micro instruments are characterized by their sensationally fine tips.

Advantages

  • Extra delicate and fine jaws for delicate microsurgery
  • Angled bayonet shape for enhanced sight lines
  • Color-coded handles for easy identification and textured handles for ergonomic grip
  • Slender jaws for optimal visibility and access to tight corridors

Features

  • NOIR™ Scissors to reduce light reflections
  • Scissors with straight, curved up, curved down or angled cutting blades
  • Certain scissors with sharp/sharp, sharp/blunt or blunt/blunt tips
  • Forceps with fine tips, teeth or serrated tumor grasping tips
  • Needle holder for needle sizes of 7/0 or smaller
  • Available in different tips, working length and different sizes

 

XS Micro Instruments

Extremely thin shaft design and, thereby, almost completely unobstructed view and – ideal attributes for operations in particularly narrow sites.

Advantages

  • Extremely slim instrument due to axial tubular shaft construction
  • Bayonet handle and jaws allow a perfect view
  • Extremely fine working ends
  • Replacement of individual components

Features

  • Scissors in a straight and curved version
  • Forceps and Tumor grasping forceps in bayonet shape
  • Disassemble into two components

Diamond Knives - Brilliant cutting precision through ultra sharp diamond blades

Outstanding cutting properties for extremely clean, precise and force-free incisions.

Advantages

  • High stability and resistance to wear due to blades made of natural diamond
  • Exceptional sharpness – virtually force-free incisions
  • Smooth cut – no tearing during incisions
  • Good visual control during incisions

Features

  • Ergonomic titanium handle
  • Color code for easy identification of blade geometry
  • Blade retractable in handle for safe storage
  • Connector for reprocessing, to rinse the instrument
  • Diamond knives are available in four different blade geometries: round, retro, 45° wedge and lancet blades

EC/IC Bypass Instruments

Special Instruments for ExtraCranial/IntraCranial bypasses.

  • Round golf ball handle design ... secure grip ... easy rotation
  • Fine instrument tips, which are particularly important for these anatomical conditions
  • Adapted working lengths (short, medium, long)
  • NOIR, No Irritating Reflections. The aesthetic black Noir® surface coating effectively prevents disturbing light reflections
  • Micro scissors for very fine, delicate incisions, e.g. to expose fine vessels in bypass surgery
  • Micro forceps for grasping fine, delicate tissue, e.g. to hold the vessels during anastomosis in bypass surgery
  • Needle holder for grasping fine needles and suture material for suturing in bypass surgery
  • Vessel punch for punching holes in vessels for subsequent anastomosis
  • AVM clip applier forceps for applying AVM clips
