Integra LifeSciences has introduced a next generation of Mayfield titanium skull pins that are specifically designed for use with the Mayfield cranial stabilization system.
The Mayfield system is designed to maintain the stability of a patient's head during brain surgery. The Mayfield skull pins have received FDA clearance in the US, as well as CE Mark Certification in the EU. The new Mayfield skull pins allow neurosurgeons to perform MRI scans during brain surgery without compromising image quality. The new skull pins may be used with any Mayfield cranial fixation system that is compatible with these imaging modalities, and the skull pins are being offered for both adult and pediatric patients.

Christopher von Jako, senior director of marketing and product development for OR devices at Integra, said: "The new Mayfield titanium skull pins now provide a distortion free operating environment for MR imaging."
