ENGLISH:
* Patient positioning and application of the skull clamp can be made with numerous variations. The patient's
final position should be acceptable to the surgeon, taking into account the patient's anatomy, pressure points,
neck flexibility and access to the surgical target. In looking at the above chart, the ovals representing the
patient's head have centerlines drawn on them. The diagrams show selected samples of proper and improper
applications of the skull clamp. The direction of the single-pin should point directly through the center point
created by the centerlines of the patient's head with the pins on the two-pin side of the skull clamp being
equidistant to single-pin line of direction to obtain the highest degree of stability.
