ViewSite™ Brain Access System (VBAS)
The ViewSite™ Brain Access System is a revolutionary approach in brain retraction. Each ViewSite system consists of an introducer and a working channel port that allows the surgeon a seamless entry to the targeted site while distributing brain tissue evenly in a 360° dispersion pattern. Other ViewSite benefits include superior binocular vision to see in and around the surgical site; multiple sizes in different widths and lengths to meet all surgical needs and compatibility with most surgical arms to avoid accidental displacement or movement during surgery.
Design Benefits of the ViewSite Brain Access System
To minimize damage to healthy tissue during surgery
To minimize venous pressure in the brain
To reduce“target shift” to allow the surgeon to reach the site accurately
To integrate with leading image-guided surgery systemsfor target accuracy
To allow for easier positioning during surgery
To allow for direct surgical visualization of all brain tissue through the optically transparent design
To minimize the size of the craniotomy creating a less invasive procedure
Available sizes:
The ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS) is available in four widths –
12mm, 17mm, 21mm and 28mm. It is also available in three lengths – 3cm,
5cm and 7cm. We offer a total of 12 different sizes to choose from for
optimal fit and performance.

ViewSite™ Brain Access System (VBAS)
Overview
The accessing of targeted brain tissue without unduly damaging surrounding tissue requires specialized instrumentation that is less invasive in performing critical procedures while minimizing collateral trauma - resulting in accelerated postoperative recovery.
The common instruments used in brain retraction procedures are ribbon or blade retractors that assist in the performance of some intraventricular and sub cortical procedures. Even though these instruments are still in use, neurosurgeons have a need for devices that provide better surgical outcomes – results that are beneficial to both the surgeon and the patient. New and quantifiable technologies such as Image Guided Surgery (IGS) is dependent upon the system recognizing key components (i.e. retractors) and having them become a recognized portion of the system and the procedure.
Understanding the Device
•The ViewSite consists of just two components; Introducer and Working Channel Port
•The lengths (3 cm, 5cm or 7cm) are the lengths of the Working Channel Port only. (Introducer not included!)
•The widths (12 mm, 17mm, 21mm and 28 mm) are measured at the distal tip of the Working Channel Port. The
“funnel” shape port becomes larger as it gets further away from the distal tip.
•The hole in the Introducer is 2mm in width on all 12 sizes, even though it may look smaller on the larger sized
devices.
•The 2mm hole was designed for use for dissection or suction if required. This will always be the size of the corticotomy.
1.Enhanced Visibility
2.Use Your Standard Instruments
3.Shape is Key
Device slides smoothly into the brain and creates a safe, clear working channel for the procedure to be performed.
Large enough for standard surgical instruments to be utilized during surgery
Device provides superior field of vision with an elliptical-shaped
working channel for surgeon.
The shape, a key in the safety promoted with the product, evenly disperses brain tissue while the transparency of the device allows for continual monitoring of surrounding tissue and structures during surgery
