NICO Myriad NOVUS ®
Enabling procedural efficiencies and surgeon convenience in veterinary medicine.
Safe, User-Controlled, Automated REMOVAL of
Brain and Spinal Abnormalities
Brain and Spinal Abnormalities
- Myriad offers enhanced visualization with the multifunctional capabilities of automated resection and intraoperative tissue collection and preservation.
- Non-ablative, mechanical device doesn't generate thermal or ultrasonic energy, avoiding heat-related damage to surrounding critical structures.
Enhanced Surgical Efficiency
- Side mouth aperture offers greater visualization, especially when placed alongside critical structures.
- Guillotine style cutter enables precise control of resection.
Greater Surgeon Control
- Suction only
- Suction with cutter
Value to Surgeons
Enable or Advance Transition to MIS Procedures
- Device designed specifically for minimally invasive neurosurgery–not an adaptation of an existing device
- Thin malleable cannula provides greater access to hard-to-reach areas
- Safe and precise resection–designed to eliminate traction pull on adjacent tissues
Gain Surgical Efficiencies
- Multifunctional automated suction and cutting device eliminates the need for instrument exchange
- Switch seamlessly between suction only and suction with cutting
- User-controlled level of suction with gas-pedal-style foot control
- 360° rotating head provides a high level of versatility during surgery
Add Oncological Solutions to Your Veterinary Practice
- Intraoperative, automated tissue collection in a sterile, closed tubing system
- Begin biological preservation process immediately in -OR-
- Deliver samples to pathology without any manual handling of tissues
Independent Clinical Evidence
Two publications in Veterinary Surgery Journal focused exclusively on veterinary medicine
Key Points
- Reduction in physical trauma or invasiveness due to characteristics of the Myriad device
- Compatibility with navigation systems as well as most endoscopic systems allows the use of the device in a minimally invasive manner
- Author’s experience has been that microdissection via hand instruments is more cumbersome and created more visible traction on adjacent tissues than microdissection with Myriad
- Combination of variable suction and cutting permits delicate resection of tissues as well as the ability to skeletonize vessels
Key Points
- Myriad is easy to use and set up
- Simultaneous cutting and suction mode was beneficial
- No need to clean the cutting portion of the device during surgery, as opposed to manual fenestration
- Device allowed disc material to be neatly suctioned and collected within the collection chamber
