"Roosevelt Hospital is delighted to be the first institution in the United States to use Vycor's brain access system," stated Dr Langer, whose credentials are available at (www.esurgeon.com/langer). "The newly designed retractors will allow neurosurgeons to have more precise access to the surgical field as well as increased binocular vision of underlying tissue during brain surgery. By using Vycor's new surgical access system, it will greatly reduce retraction injuries and other complications that can occur when surgeons are locating tumors."

About the ViewSite Brain Access System

This surgical device was designed to promote minimally invasive surgery, minimize brain tissue disruption during the surgical procedure and promote beneficial procedural outcomes. The devices were designed to be used with standard clamps that already exist in the operating room, as well as integrated with neuronavigational equipment.

"We are enthusiastic about the opportunity that this presents for Vycor Medical and our brain access system. This will allow for us to gain the confidence of the neurosurgeons at a much faster pace than we had initially anticipated," added Heather Jensen, president of Vycor Medical, LLC. "It is important neurosurgeons and distributors alike have confidence in the product to ensure that they will receive the overall benefits on the technology we have been working diligently on developing."
