New aneurysm clip appliers for "key-hole" neurosurgery.
A new set of aneurysm clip appliers has been developed to overcome many of the obstacles to safe clipping of complex intracranial aneurysms. The applier set consists of six units, each one delivering clips at a different specified angle to the applier shaft. These appliers have been independently tested on over 250 aneurysm operations and found to be of great utility.
