ClearPoint Neuro announces first clinical use of Velocity Alpha MR drill

ClearPoint Neuro (CLPT) announced the successful completion of the first clinical procedure utilizing the 510(k)-cleared Velocity Alpha MR High Speed Surgical Drill System. “The design of the drill bits provides tactile feedback during bone access, and facilitates consistent, predictable opening of the skull even during minimally invasive procedures where the bone is not fully visualized,” said Paul Larson, chief medical officer of ClearPoint Neuro. “For my cases that involve multiple trajectories, its integration with the SmartFrame platform has the potential to reduce my procedure times by an hour or more.”
