CRANIAL STABILIZATION SYSTEMS - IMAGING APPLICATIONS
Improved Patient Positioning
The special design of the skull clamp fits open frame OR tables.
Its unique shape provides freedom in patient positioning, allowing to lower the patient´s head between the rails of an open frame OR table.
Designed for Imaging Environments
Its metal-free material allows CT and Angio imaging.
Flexible Application
The DORO® Skull Clamp for Spinal Frames fits a multitude of OR tables by means of table adaptors.
Easy Quality Assurance of Surgical Work
The completely metal-free skull clamp allows XRay imaging.
The long reach of the system keeps the head clear for imaging.
DORO LUCENT® Disposable Skull Pins reduce artifacts to a minimum, allowing high-end imaging.
Flexible Application
DORO LUCENT® attaches securely to almost all side-rail types of OR tables. Its slim side parts ensure a convincing attachment.
Combine it with other DORO® solutions.
Retractor systems, navigation tracking devices and other accessories attach directly and safely to the Quick Rail® and the corresponding interfaces of the skull clamp.
Ergonomic & Intuitive Handling
The streamline, formfitting and tool-free design makes the system easy to handle.
Optimal Patient Placement
Adjustable Extension Arms ensure that the patient‘s head fits into gantries of 32 cm / 12 inch and larger.
In combination with the DORO LUCENT® Disposable Skull Pins, this enables high-end imaging with mobile, small gantry CTs.
Double Safety
The DORO® XTom U-Belt is an additional safety feature. It works like a safety net and will prevent major injuries caused in the very unlikely event of a head slippage, no matter the patient’s head position.
Flexible Application
Attach DORO LUNA®, DORO COBRA® or Quick-Clamp products to the form-fitting Quick-Rail® interface. Navigation tracking device adaptors can easily be attached in close proximity to the surgical field, allowing a precise work for increased navigation precision.
Smooth Workflow
The classic 3-pin skull clamp ensures a familiar and intuitive handling of the system.
DORO LUCENT® iMRI allows an optimal positioning of the patient´s head thanks to a wide range of motion.
Together with the DORO LUCENT® Headplate, the patient can already be positioned as required before starting the pinning procedure.
In combination with DORO LUCENT® Disposable Skull Pins, artifacts are reduced to a minimum, enabling high-end imaging.
Automatic Image Registration Ready
The system is compatible* with image-guided surgery (IGS) systems from the leading companies in the field, including the Automatic Image Registration (AIR) technology from Brainlab. It allows neurosurgeons to seamlessly integrate reacquired intraoperative MR images, eliminating the need to access anatomical landmarks.
*AIR compatibility depends on the IMRIS Scanner used.
Freedom of Choice
The cranial stabilization system allows to choose the best combination of intraoperative imaging technologies for an intervention, running different diagnostic methods on bone and tissues within the same surgery. This results in a more precise treatment with lower time consumption compared to separate imaging approaches.
