Stereotaxy is a fundamental technique in neurosurgery that allows the surgeon to operate with millimeter precision in the brain, using three-dimensional spatial coordinates to locate specific structures. For this type of procedure to be effective, it is essential to have high-performance instruments that guarantee safety, compatibility, and practicality in the operating room.

It is in this context that the Micromar stereotaxy kits stand out. With a diverse line of disposable cannulas and screws, the company offers complete solutions for different clinical applications, always focusing on quality and the final result of the procedures.

What are stereotaxy kits?

Kits are sets of devices designed specifically for use in stereotactic procedures. They consist of disposable cannulas, quick-lock bushings, fixation screws, and other accessories that facilitate access and manipulation during surgery. All components are single-use, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and simplifying the surgical workflow.

In addition, Micromar cannulas have a 4-year shelf life, ensuring reliability and a long service life within sterility and performance standards.

Main types of available kits

Micromar's line of stereotaxy kits covers various clinical needs. Among the main ones are:

• Kit for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Electrode Implantation: used in deep brain stimulation procedures with compatibility for electrodes from the main brands on the market, such as Medtronic, Boston, and St. Jude.
  
  

• Kit for Microrecording: designed for collecting functional signals with high precision, includes disposable cannulas and recording electrodes.
  
  

• Kit for Brain Hematoma Drainage: provides efficient evacuation of hematomas with stability and safety.
  
  

• Kit for Guided Surgery: ideal for procedures that require precise navigation, such as the treatment of arteriovenous malformations or tumors.
  
  

• Kit for Cyst and Abscess Drainage: offers control and practicality in drainage with appropriate cannulas and support components.
  
  

• Kit for Brain Biopsy: includes cannulas with 5 mm or 10 mm window options and an extender with a connection for sample aspiration, ensuring precise collection of material for analysis.

Among other options, such as neuroendoscopy. 

Benefits of disposable kits

Opting for disposable kits brings several advantages to the operating room routine. Among them:

• Greater safety by avoiding the reuse of materials and reducing the risk of infections.

• Practicality in preparation and disposal, simplifying instrumentation logistics.

• Compatibility with the most widely used stereotactic system in Latin America, Micromar's AimSystem® TM03B.

Micromar's stereotaxy kits represent a complete and reliable solution for neurosurgeons seeking precision, safety, and efficiency in complex procedures, with strict manufacturing and quality standards. With a variety of options for different clinical applications and high-quality materials, these kits help ensure safer and smoother outcomes in the surgical environment.
