Dynamic Craniotomy™
A New Paradigm in Cranial Surgery
A cranial fixation system designed to accommodate postoperative brain swelling while preserving the native bone flap.
Key Benefits
✔ Allows controlled outward bone flap movement during swelling
✔ Helps avoid decompressive craniectomy in selected cases
✔ Bone flap returns to anatomical position as swelling resolves
Craniotomy
​
Large bone flap with temporal craniectomy
Expansile Duroplasty
Bone flap removed and pathology addressed.
Expansile durotomy with duroplasty.
Dynamic Fixation
NuCrani plates fix the bone flap.
​
Swelling Accommodation
Bone flap elevates outward with cerebral swelling.
Automatic Reversal
​
Bone flap returns to flush position after swelling resolves.
Dynamic Craniotomy with NeuroVention Plates
Indications for Use
The NeuroVention Cranial Fixation System is US FDA 510(k) cleared for use as a burr hole cover and/or skull bone fixation following craniotomy, cranioplasty, or craniectomy procedures.
​
Regulatory Status
The NeuroVention Cranial Fixation System is FDA cleared for cranial fixation following craniotomy and cranioplasty procedures. Research studies have evaluated the potential for dynamic fixation concepts in neurosurgical applications.
