Abstract

This manuscript introduces the latest generation of a patient-mounted platform designed for segmental injections of therapeutics direct into the spinal cord parenchyma. It emphasizes its importance and it presents the rationale for developing this delivery methodology. It compares the newest with the previous generations, detailing how the modifications can streamline transportation, assembly, sterilization, and utilization of the platform by different surgeons. Finally, the illustrations depict the main alterations, as well as a cadaveric assessment of the device prototype in the cervical and thoracolumbar regions.
