Attachment of The Skull Clamp to The Base Unit
Once the skull clamp is applied to the patient's skull, the surgeon will maneuver the patient to the
surgical position that is required for the procedure. With the patient in this position, the surgeon will
hold the patient's head and the skull clamp and request that the components for the base unit be
brought up for attachment.
1. The base unit should be brought up for attachment to the skull clamp. The mounting screw of
the large starburst on the swivel adaptor should be inserted into the large starburst of the skull
clamp and turned clockwise and tightened. Care should be taken to maintain the position of the
patient's head as requested by the surgeon.
2. Securely fasten the skull clamp to the MAYFIELD base unit by attachment to the Swivel Adaptor.
Close Locking Levers. Turn clockwise all of the Locking Knobs of the other components of the
base unit making certain all starburst teeth are fully meshed (where applicable) on all joints of
the base unit after adjustments are complete.
Before fully tightening, always be certain that the starburst teeth of the Swivel
Adaptor and other starburst fittings are the same size and properly mesh.
Failure to do so may damage fittings. Figure 5 shows a typical starburst connection
and proper meshing of teeth.
CAUTION!
