Technology for Corridor Access

NICO technologies remove large tumors through small openings

Nico Myriad LogoMyriad™

The Myriad is indicated for use in clot evacuation, primary or secondary tumor removal and intraventricular tumor/cyst removal and is compatible with Minimally Invasive Parafascicular Surgery (MIPS), ventriculoscope procedures and key hole approaches.

Myriad Automated Removal Benefits
  • Minimizes “in-and-out” of the surgical field
  • User-controlled variable aspiration
  • Tissue collection in a sterile, closed system
Nico Myriad Side Mouth Aperature
A non-ablative, non-thermal, multi-functional device using mechanical cutting for improved access in narrow corridors.
Myriad Tissue Removal Capabilities
  • Automates resection
  • Does not generate heat to achieve tissue removal without injury to adjacent critical structures1
  • Non-ablative, mechanical cutting technology for precise, user-controlled tissue resection2
  • Improved access in narrow corridors due to low profile design3
  • Malleable cannula to optimize access4
  • Minimizes “in-and-out” of the surgical field
  • User-controlled variable aspiration
  • Tissue captured in sterile, closed system for use in post-procedure tissue processing

BrainPath® Ultrasound Probe

The BrainPath Ultrasound Probe overcomes small corridor barriers pursuing the goal of gross total resection.  This modern approach applies the Principles of Microsurgery with BrainPath Removal of Tumors and ICH using BrainPath.

Intraoperative, Real-Time Imaging
is used inside the BrainPath sheath to visualize landmarks and confirm:

  • Vascularity
  • Lesion position
  • Tumor roll
BrainPath Ultrasound Probe by Hitachi Healthcare
The BrainPath Ultrasound Probe monitors resection and addresses common visualization challenges.
Post-operative images reveal one of the differences between conventional brain surgery and surgery using BrainPath.
