Skull Clamp Patient Fixation
Failure to properly position the patient and to fully secure all adjustment portions
of this or any support device may result in serious patient injury.
1. Unlock the Index Locking Knob so the rocker arm can rotate freely 360 degrees. The Index
Locking Knob is unlocked by rotating the knob to align the indicator with the open lock
symbol;
see Figure 4.
2. Rotate the rocker arm into the desired position for placement of the skull pins; normally
perpendicular to the floor for prone or supine positions or parallel to the floor for patients in
the sitting position.
NOTE: The Torque Screw force gauge provides the surgeon with a visual display of the
clamping force value. (Each line on the gauge is 20 lbs or 89 N).
This will also align the rocker arm parallel with the direction of the surgical force
(See Table 1 Skull Clamp Position Diagram).
CAUTION!
WARNING!
