Next-Generation Design for Enhanced Patient Safety
Engineered for improved mechanical fixation stability during cranial procedures, DORO® AVA Disposable Skull Pins, Titanium feature a shoulder shoulder-free design that aims to minimize unnecessary tissue contact around the shaft. Manufactured from titanium, these pins are compatible with intraoperative CT, X-ray, X-ray-based angiography, and fluoroscopy.
Elevating Fixation Stability with AVA Skull Pin Technology
The AVA Skull Pin Technology combines two unique components, designed to improve mechanical fixation stability:
- Distinct Skull Pins: Feature differently angled tips on the single and dual pin sides designed for more balanced pin penetration depths.
- Straight Skull Pin Holder: Aligning AVA Skull Pins in direction of applied force.
Together, these two components optimize force distribution and fixational stability to significantly decrease the risk of unintended head movements.
[Preclinical testing on mixed-gender cadaveric specimens, aged 63–102 years, showed for our novel pinning system 51% reduced slippage at 347 N (clinically relevant procedures under relevant loads including simulated trepanation) and 35% reduced slippage at 520 N (1.5-fold safety margin above clinical loads)].
