STATEMENT OF WORK

GEM Synovis Instruments
Background: The Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) currently owns several GEM Synovis Microsurgery Instrument Sets. These instruments are essential for micro dissection during both brain and spine procedures and are designed and used primarily for the surgical treatment of brain tumors. The ENT Service requires an increase in the par level of these sets due to the need for precision handling during delicate operations. The current instruments, which are exclusively manufactured by GEM Synovis, have been in use for 15 years and are now in need of replacement to ensure optimal performance. It is necessary that the new instruments match the sets already owned at MEDVAMC.
Project Scope: The purpose of this procurement is to replace aging Scanlan® micro neurosurgery instruments and increase instrument capacity to support brain tumor resections and complex spine procedures requiring micro‑anatomy dissection. This includes the purchase and delivery of the specific items listed below, which are required to assemble complete and functionally standardized microsurgery sets.
