@mjmember, I wanted to give you some context to the answer you got from Mayo Clinic's Neurosurgery Department about the devices used. A list of devices isn't shared to avoid being misleading and unhelpful. The recommendation on the best device is highly customized based on each patient and their case and condition. No single go-to device is used every time, so a consultation is required to give the best and most customized recommendation on how to proceed.

Thank You, Amanda
There are more than a dozen devices available in the market. For example, Johns Hopkins uses two types of devices and they decide which one is best suited for the patient. Every doctor uses only a subset of devices available in the market. I'm just asking what devices they use. I'm not asking which device is best suited for my son.
Consultation is not required to give the information on what devices they use. I'm doing initial research as to which facility uses which devices. It is possible they may not be using the same devices that johns hopkins uses. I'm not a doctor but as an engineer, I would like to be knowledgeable about the devices.
