Type of clip used on brain surgery. (sm) - Hi there!

Posted: Jun 09, 2011

This is during closure of a bifrontal craniotomy to remove a meningioma. If it helps, the Stealth navigation system was used on this surgery.

"DuraSeal was then placed over the dura, and the craniotomy flap was reapproximated and secured with ?INVISICS? clips."

Every phonetic spelling I've tried has met with Google-FAIL. Does anyone recognize this name? Thanks in advance.

how about INVISx by Medtronic? n/m - 1mt

That's weird, evidently I've hurt Google's feelings somehow. (sm) - Hi there!

That was one of the spellings I'd tried! And even now when I search for "INVISx", I don't get a single Medtronic result unless I search for "INVISx Medtronic".

Thank you so much for the quick help, 1mt!
