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.
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.
There is now a revolution in using retraction, or a “retraction
revolution” – the Vycor ViewSite Brain Access System!
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.

VBAS vs Standard Retractors
The goal of safely accessing the surgical
site and creating a clear and stationary working channel to perform
delicate procedures is what the ViewSite is all about. There is no
pushing on the surgical site numerous times to see the selected area and
no clutter of instrumentation during the procedure. The ample working
channel allows for multiple instruments to be used simultaneously while
providing an excellent depth of view of the site as well as the brain
wall. The working channel comes in four widths – 12mm, 17mm, 21mm and
28mm to meet your exact requirements.
The ViewSite does what standard retraction methods cannot. Contact your
local distributor (in the Hospital Resources section) and try the
ViewSite for yourself and see why it makes sense for every procedure.
The Vycor ViewSite™ TC Model
The revolutionary Vycor ViewSite™ is
designed for transcortical use for intracerebral hematomas, AVM,
cavernous malformations, metastatic and primary brain tumors, cerebral
cysts, intraaaxial tumors and lesions and intraventricular tumors. The
TC model can be used in any cranial procedure that is intraventricular
or subcortical in nature.
Available sizes:
• 3cm, 5cm and 7cm lengths
• 12mm, 17mm, 21mm and 28mm widths
• Packaged individually - one size per box
