1EA-LEKSELL MULTIPURPOSE ARC WITH COUNTERSCALE
Leksell Multipurpose Arc with Counter Scale is needed to provide the Neuro surgeons the ability to perform surgeries on patients using the complete Leksell Stereotactic System. Without the purchase of this arc, the surgeons will not have the added ability to perform surgery on the brain or conduct research where utilizing the Leksell Stereotactic System is absolutely crucial.
The Arc provides a surgical approach with ensured accuracy. The x-coordinate is set on both axes before mounting, which assures fast and correct positioning when fitting the arc to the frame. The Leksell Multi Purpose Stereotactic Arc with counter scale is designed to allow the surgeon to select any desired trajectory to the predetermined target, regardless of the patient's position, when using Leksell Coordinate Frame G. Because of the counter scale the accuracy is further ensured when mounting the arc. The unique option to attach several sliding carriers on the arc in combination with the center-of-arc principle allows the surgeon to simultaneously reach and/or observe any selected target through two or more trajectories. This is possible because DPM already has all other components of the Stereotactic system. We only need this Arc to complete the set.
