Unlimited number of applications There are several examples of areas in which the application of stereotactic techniques expands the surgeon's options. By increasing the number of choices available, the surgeon's chances of finding the optimal treatment modality for the individual patient increases significantly.
A process of continuous development has expanded the use of stereotactic instruments from basic diagnostic procedures into more advanced therapeutic applications. In traditional microsurgery, the implementation of stereotactic principles for surgical guidance allows the surgeon to approach targets in a more direct and less traumatic way. |
 | Functional The fully integrated Elekta MicroDrive™ provides the utmost accuracy and confidence when positioning electrodes for MER*, macro stimulation and lead electrode implantation. |
 | Implantations A variety of instruments are available for deep electrode placement, catheter insertion of radioactive seeds and lead electrode implantation. |
 | Biopsies Leksell Stereotactic System® provides the neurosurgeon with a wide variety of biopsy instrumentation for any type of tumor (hard or soft) and different preferred techniques. |
 | Injections and Aspirations Thin and sharp needles for injection of radioactive nuclides and cytostatic agents as well as puncture of cysts. The fine needles enable the surgeon to feel changes in tissue penetration, while ensuring small holes in the cysts to avoid leakage and achieve better quality of biopsy smears. |
 | Evacuations With the Backlund Haematoma Evacuator Kit coagulated haematomatous mass is gradually evacuated using an Archimedes screw technique during continuous vacuum. |
 | Pain The electrodes for pain treatment are specially designed to be used with Leksell® Neuro Generator. They are available in various lengths for different applications in the cervical, lumbar and thoracic region, as well as for themolesioning of the trigeminal nerve roots, occipital nerve and ganglion pterygoplatinum. The DREZ electrode is customized for treating pain due to injury of the dorsal roots by lesion. |
 | Stereotactic guidance Leksell® Endoscope Adapter stereotactically guides the endoscope for reaching deep targets with the highest accuracy while at the same time minimizing trauma. It fits most endoscope models. |
 | Gamma Knife® surgery Leksell® Coordinate Frame is fully compatible with Leksell Gamma Knife®, ensuring the highest possible accuracy. |
