New scaled aneurysm clips improve surgical precision. The markings on the clip blades enhance accurate placement, especially in complex aneurysm surgeries where visibility is limited.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Aneurysm clipping can be challenging due to poor visibility of clip blade tips.
  • Large, deep, or posteriorly projecting aneurysms pose specific surgical difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a series of scaled clips to improve intraoperative visualization.
  • To enhance the accuracy of clip placement during aneurysm surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Modified Yaşargil titanium clips were used to create scaled versions.
  • Clip blades were marked with alternating colors every 5 mm from the tips.
  • Six new types of straight scaled clips were introduced.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 40 aneurysm clipping procedures were performed using the scaled clips.

  • The usefulness of the scaled clips in surgical procedures was confirmed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Blade scaling aids in confirming accurate clip placement.
    • This is particularly beneficial in complex aneurysm surgeries with limited visibility of clip tips.
