VBAS
ViewSite Brain Access System
A revolutionary system that provides access and allows for visualisation of the surgical field during brain and spine surgery.
“THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY”
TWO questions that led to the creation of the VIEWSITE BRAIN ACCESS SYSTEM (VBAS):
There must be a better way to access surgical locations without unduly damaging surrounding tissue?
There must be a less invasive means to perform critical procedures, so that collateral trauma can be minimised and postoperative recovery accelerated?
VBAS was born of the desire to eliminate the need to “pull” on brain tissue as this is dangerous with current brain retractors that cause a high local retraction pressure distributed over a limited surface area. The VBAS was designed to eliminate any “pulling” on surrounding tissues in any direction. By their circumferential elliptical design as well as the hemispheric design, there is no need to pull in any direction whatsoever.
The highlights of this system
VBAS is simple in design and easy to use. The combination of ease of use, navigational capability and reliability will allow for increased surgeon comfort and confidence.
Elliptical Shape
Distributes brain tissue evenly eliminating excess focal stress from blade retraction.
Safe, Optically Clear Plastic
Helps visualise the surrounding tissue, and excludes the risk of electrical burning in tissues since plastic devices don't transmit electrocautery energy.
Introducer & Tube Design
Unique Introducer design allows for seamless entry and minimizes brain disruption and tissue trauma. The tube provides superior binocular vision of the surgical site.
