Cannula

The cannula is guiding the electrode or the lead during the neurosurgery and preventing them from changing the trajectory.

Alpha Omega offers three types of cannulas: standard, tapered and insertion.

The difference between the regular and tapered cannula is the inner diameter.

• The tapered cannula is intended for guiding Alpha Omega’s non-shielded electrode
• The regular cannula is for Alpha Omega’s shielded electrode and DBS lead.
• The insertion inner cannula is designed for guiding non-shielded electrodes and the outer cannula for guiding the DBS lead.

The cannula includes a stylet. The Stylet round shape tip is designed to minimize damage to the tissue when inserting the cannula.
