Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corp. recently introduced the Mayfield 2 system for rigid cranial fixation.
"Mayfield is among the most trusted brands in cranial stabilization, and Integra is very pleased to offer continued innovations to the Mayfield cranial stabilization product line started by Dr. Frank H. Mayfield, over 40 years ago," said Robert T. Davis, Jr., president of Integra Specialty Surgical Solutions. "Integra's new Mayfield 2 system has enhanced features that make the clamp easier to use and allow the surgeon to more precisely position the patient's head to prepare for delicate neurosurgical procedures."
The Mayfield 2 system consists of a new skull clamp, along with a new base unit. The skull clamp is composed of a new stronger and lighter weight material. It includes an increased amount of offset ratcheting teeth for more precise closure, an I-beam for smoother closure, and a new dual button release for easier removal, according to Integra. The base unit features a powder-coated finish, allowing for automatic washing, and a swivel adaptor that does not require any additional tools for adjustment.
Mayfield cranial stabilization systems are used worldwide in more than 200,000 neurosurgical procedures annually, according to Integra. Procedures include craniotomy for tumor removal, treatment of head trauma injuries, pediatric disorders such as hydrocephalus, biopsies, cancer removal, cerebrovascular disorders such as aneurysms, posterior cervical spine conditions and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease or epilepsy. Integra makes implants, devices, instruments and systems used in neurosurgery, neuromonitoring, neuro-trauma and related neurocritical care.
Mayfield is a registered trademark of SM USA Inc. and is used by Integra under license. The system was introduced during the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting, May 2-6, in Washington, D.C.
Plainsboro, N.J.-based Integra LifeSciences makes specialty surgical solutions, orthopedics and tissue technologies, and spine hardware and orthobiologics.
