NICO technologies are part of a minimally invasive systems approach designed to be a deficit-sparing neurosurgical procedure that integrates advanced imaging with navigation-compatible intervention technologies to achieve minimally disruptive ACCESS, automated REMOVAL and standardized, intra-operative COLLECTION and BIOLOGICAL PRESERVATION of resected tissue.
BrainPath®Approach
Access the brain through the sulcus in a minimally disruptive way using the BrainPath® and meniGLIDE®
Illuminate and Remove the lesion or hemorrhage using the Myriad NOVUSTM and Myriad-LXTM
Collect and Biologically Preserve tissue in a closed-capture system for more comprehensive pathology and molecular analysis using the Automated Preservation SystemTM
Evidence also suggests that the BrainPath Approach provides economic value for the hospital when analyzing the entire episode of care and supports healthcare’s commitment to achieving Triple Aim.
