Microinstruments for Neurosurgery According to SEPEHRNIA

The microinstruments according to SEPEHRNIA are characterized by their ergonomic and functional design elements developed based on years of experience. The instruments’ special features include their unique angle and the bayonet-style design.

The microinstruments are available in various sizes and feature different instrument tips, such as scissors, forceps and pincers. Each instrument is color-coded according to its tip, facilitating the differentiation between models.

The precision workmanship and bayonet-shaped offset afford the surgeon an optimal view of the surgical field. Its narrow shaft (2 mm shaft diameter) and minimal lateral limit render the instrument particularly suitable for minimally invasive surgery. An essential feature is the stability of the shaft, which remains rigid despite its delicate design.

The instrument orientation extends the focused view of the treated lesion to the tip of the instrument without distorting the direction, freeing the user from having to rethink the working direction. The instrument guidance is designed with regard to the user’s physiology, with an adequate range of motion at the tip of each instrument being achieved by targeted finger and hand movements from the wrist, so that the instrument never needs to be grasped and can be operated from the wrist rather than from the entire lower arm.

The delicate design of the instrument tips prevents shadows near the pathological structures of interest. The instruments leave ample room for additionally required instruments in the region of the exposure and can be used macroscopically, microscopically and endoscopically. The facet grasping forceps, scissors and other instruments were developed based on years of experience in skull base surgery, vascular surgery and operations in the deepest brain regions; they are optimally tailored to the needs of the neurosurgeon. The cylindrical guidance of the entire instrument avoids any cross-shear motion near the wound opening, reducing the required work space to a few millimeters. The color-coding significantly simplifies the operation for the assisting personnel. Cleaning and resterilization according to the latest standards is no problem at all.
