NICO Myriad NOVUS ®

Enabling procedural efficiencies and surgeon convenience in veterinary medicine.

Safe, User-Controlled, Automated REMOVAL of
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

1. May 2020 – on screen-guided resection of extra-axial and intra-axial forebrain masses through registration of a variable-suction tissue resection device with a neuro navigation system
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
2. October 2012 – – Canine Intervertebral Disc Fenestration Using a Vacuum‐Assisted Tissue Resection Device
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
