NAVIGATED DISPOSABLE STYLET Confidence through image-guidance in freehand procedures The Brainlab Disposable Stylet is designed for navigated placements of shunts or ventricular catheters in neurosurgery enabling their quick and easy freehand placement. AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION The incorporated passive marker geometry is automatically recognized by the Brainlab navigation camera allowing for instant calibration and reduced calibration efforts. FLEXIBLE COMPATIBILITY The Disposable Stylet is intended to be used with third party, non-Brainlab shunts and ventricular catheters between 1.3 and 1.5 mm inner diameter with a maximum length of 150 mm. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AND LITERATURE “The navigated stylet facilitates precise intrahematomal catheter placement in patients with spontaneous ICH.”1 “The introduction of a pre-calibrated catheter placement tool has increased the accuracy of catheter placement in children with challenging intracranial targets.”2 Malinova V, Stockhammer F, Atangana EN, Mielke D, Rohde V.
