VBAS disposable products are used by neurological surgeons to access surgical sites.

Retractors used in neurosurgical procedures can cause brain damage and prolonged patient recovery with the incidence of contusion or infarction from brain retraction being approximately 10% in cranial surgery and 5% in intracranial procedures. In response, the Vycor Brain Access System (VBAS) was developed.  The VBAS series of disposable products are used by neurological surgeons to access the surgical sites. This is done by inserting the VBAS gently into the brain and then removing the VBAS introducer, leaving the remaining hollow working channel in place to provide the surgeon with access to the precise location desired for surgery.

The VBAS is available in multiple sizes and is a single-use product. The current series consist of 12 disposable products, offered in four different port diameters of 17mm and 21mm, 12mm, and 28 mm and a choice of three lengths for each of 3, 5, and 7cm. A further broadening of this product range is planned and the clinical benefits are many.
