The Leksell Stereotactic System with disposable biopsy needle kit Indications for Use is a system intended for localization and diagnosis of intracranial disorders and their surgical treatment, including radiotherapy and stereotactic radiaton therapy
Device Story
Leksell Stereotactic System is a mechanical apparatus for intracranial localization and surgical guidance. Used in clinical settings by neurosurgeons for biopsy, surgical intervention, and radiotherapy planning. Device provides a rigid frame and coordinate system to ensure precise targeting of intracranial structures. System includes a disposable biopsy needle kit for tissue sampling. Operates via mechanical alignment and spatial referencing to anatomical targets identified through imaging. Facilitates accurate delivery of therapeutic radiation or surgical instruments to specific intracranial coordinates. Benefits include enhanced precision in targeting intracranial lesions, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
