| 20090069811 | Device and method for fixation of equipment to the head of a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery - A device is provided for fixation of equipment to the head of a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery, comprising a ring-shaped frame having at least three fixation pins which are attachable against the skull of the patient with a contact force for fixation of the device thereto. At least one connecting means is positioned at a location where the frame has a minimum of displacement due to deformation of the frame when the fixation pins are tightened towards the skull, in order to allow fixation of equipment for diagnosis, therapy or surgery to the frame without they being distorted as a consequence of the deformation of the frame. The invention also relates to a method for fixation of the head of a patient by means of such a device. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090293883 | Connecting device for connecting a rings-shaped frame to a supplementary equipment - A device is provided for connecting of a ring-shaped frame, which is adapted for fixation to the head of a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery, to a supplementary equipment, for positioning of the frame and the equipment in a predetermined relation to each other. The frame comprises a connecting hole and the equipment comprises a connecting pin for insertion into the hole in the frame during positioning. The hole opens into a surface of the frame and has an enlarged portion, which preferably is diverging towards the surface of the frame, closest to the surface and a cylindrical portion beyond the diverging portion, whereas the connecting pin has a cross sectional dimension which is equal to or slightly smaller than the cross sectional dimension of the cylindrical portion in the hole. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100275926 | FIXATION DEVICE - The present invention relates to the field of radiation therapy and radiation surgery. In particular, the invention relates to devices and methods for stereotactic medical procedures and it provides for repeated accurate positioning (fixation) of a patient, or a part of a patient, for carrying out medical procedures which are done at different times such as fractionated radiation therapy. Specifically, a patient fixation device for fixating a head of a patient relatively a treatment unit as a preparation for treatment or during treatment of the head is provided. The patient fixation device being is adapted to be attached to a stereotactic frame structure connected to the treatment unit. The attachment means is adapted to be releasably attached to corresponding attachment plates attached to teeth of the upper jaw or maxilla of the patient, each attachment plate being fixated to at least one tooth by means of an adhesive, wherein the attachment means allows removal from the attachment plates of the patient and re-attachment to the corresponding attachment plates of the patient with an identical orientation relatively the frame structure and the teeth of the patient. | 11-04-2010 |
