Next-Generation Neurosurgical Headrest for Imaging
The DORO LUCENT® Skull Clamp for AVA sets the standard for neurosurgical procedures requiring intraoperative CT, X-ray, or X-ray-based Angiography. Engineered with seamless, curve-driven geometry to eliminate imaging artifacts, it offers exceptional ergonomic support. A smooth ratcheting system and single-handed release mechanism allow surgeons to fully self-operate and adjust the clamp without shifting hand position, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow.
Pediatric Upgrade Kit available
Pediatric pin holders allow 4-pin fixation for smaller head sizes, are optionally available.

Elevating Fixation Stability with AVA Skull Pin Technology
The AVA Skull Pin Technology combines two unique components, designed to improve mechanical fixation stability:
- Distinct Skull Pins: Feature differently angled tips on the single and dual pin sides designed for more balanced pin penetration depths.
- Straight Skull Pin Holder: Aligning AVA Skull Pins in direction of applied force.
Together, these two components optimize force distribution and fixational stability to significantly decrease the risk of unintended head movements.
[Preclinical testing on mixed-gender cadaveric specimens, aged 63–102 years, showed for our novel pinning system 51% reduced slippage at 347 N (clinically relevant procedures under relevant loads including simulated trepanation) and 35% reduced slippage at 520 N (1.5-fold safety margin above clinical loads)].
