Brain Surgical Kit
Brain surgical kit for small-animal brain surgery station planning, including a #3 surgical handle with #11 blades, straight surgical and eye scissors, eye and dissecting tweezers, a 2 mm surgical knife, two blunt retractor formats, tungsten-carbon jaw needle holder, suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures for cannula implantation, optical fiber implantation, microinjection, and EEG acquisition workflows.

Overview
The Brain Surgical Kit is a small-animal brain surgery instrument set for labs planning cannula implantation, optical fiber implantation, drug microinjection, EEG signal acquisition, and related stereotaxic-adjacent workflows. It is broader than a single microdialysis kit because it covers access, cutting, handling, blunt retraction, knife work, needle holding, and closure materials in one tray.
The kit includes a #3 surgical handle with #11 blades, straight surgical scissors, straight eye scissors, straight eye tweezers, straight dissecting tweezers, a straight 2 mm surgical knife, 2x2 and 1x1 blunt retractors, a tungsten-carbon jaw needle holder, triangular 3/8 suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures.
Scientific Use
Use this kit when the brain surgery station needs a general access and closure tray around stereotaxic or implantation work. The kit scope calls out single-use cannula implantation, optical fiber implantation, drug microinjection, and EEG signal acquisition, so the public page is positioned around station support for those workflows rather than a single assay or device.
Pair the kit with the selected stereotaxic frame, drill or microdrill, cannula or fiber hardware, microinjection system, EEG headstage or connector plan, anesthesia, warming, magnification, and sterile-field supplies required by the lab workflow.
Buying Fit
Choose this kit when the lab needs a general small-animal brain surgery instrument tray. Choose Brain Microdialysis Surgery Kit when the primary buying decision is microdialysis-specific, Brain Perfusion Surgical Kit when the workflow is perfusion and brain collection, or Stereotaxic Surgery Kit when the order needs a stereotaxic-focused instrument bundle.

Plan separately
- Stereotaxic frame, drill or microdrill, cannula or fiber hardware, microinjection system, EEG hardware, anesthesia, warming, magnification, and sterile supplies
Practical Tips
Use this kit when the lab needs a general small-animal brain surgery tray rather than a single microdialysis, perfusion, or broad surgery kit.
Why: The kit scope spans cannula implantation, optical fiber implantation, drug microinjection, and EEG signal acquisition.
Review the stereotaxic frame, drill, cannula or fiber hardware, microinjection or EEG equipment, anesthesia, warming, and magnification before finalizing the order.
Why: The kit covers the instrument tray; the surrounding brain surgery station determines compatibility and workflow fit.
Confirm needle and suture preferences against the planned surgery workflow before fulfillment.
Why: The kit includes triangular 3/8 suture needles plus #4-0 and #6-0 non-absorbable sutures, but labs may prefer procedure-specific closure materials.

Compliance
What is included in the Brain Surgical Kit?
The kit includes 13 component lines covering #3 handle and #11 blades, straight surgical scissors, straight eye scissors, straight eye tweezers, straight dissecting tweezers, straight 2 mm surgical knife, 2x2 and 1x1 blunt retractors, tungsten-carbon jaw needle holder, triangular 3/8 suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures.
How is this different from the Brain Microdialysis Surgery Kit?
Brain Microdialysis Surgery Kit is a microdialysis-specific product. Brain Surgical Kit is a general small-animal brain surgery tray for station planning around cannula implantation, optical fiber implantation, drug microinjection, EEG signal acquisition, and related stereotaxic-adjacent work.
Does the kit include retractors and closure materials?
Yes. The component list includes 2x2 and 1x1 blunt retractors, a tungsten-carbon jaw needle holder, triangular 3/8 suture needles, and #4-0/#6-0 non-absorbable sutures.
What should be planned with this kit?
A complete station may also need a stereotaxic frame, drill or microdrill, cannula or fiber hardware, microinjection system, EEG hardware, anesthesia, warming, magnification, and sterile-field supplies.
Can ConductScience review the final station configuration?
Yes. The kit can be quote-reviewed with adjacent ConductScience stereotaxic, microdrill, injection, anesthesia, warming, magnification, and surgical-instrument products around the lab workflow.
