    The MAYFIELD skull clamp is used to rigidly fixate a patient's head during neurosurgery such as tumor removal or aneurysm clipping. It uses three skull pins inserted into the head and a clamp that can be positioned and locked into place. The clamp applies pressure to the skull through the pins to keep the head still and comes with indicators showing how much force is being applied.

    MAYFIELD

    Cranial stabilization is used to keep the head completely still during


    neurosurgical procedures. Cases that require the use of the MAYFIELD include
    craniotomies for tumor removal, aneurysm clipping, surgeries for neurological
    disorders like epilepsy, and cervical spines. The surgeon can choose from a
    skull clamp for rigid fixation or a horseshoe headrest for cranial support.
    Product Description
    The MAYFIELD Skull Clamp is designed to give rigid skeletal fixation, allow the
    surgeon more freedom in positioning the fixation pins and show indication of
    pin force.
    Avoidance of critical areas of the skull is made possible by a swiveling rocker
    arm, which rotates 360 degrees, making application much easier.
    The MAYFIELD Skull Clamp requires the use of three (3) each MAYFIELD Skull
    Pins.
    A MAYFIELD Base Unit, Swivel Adaptor (or other adaptors) are required when
    using the Skull Clamp. In addition, the Crossbar Adaptor (A-1015) is required
    for use of the skull clamp for the sitting position.
    Product Use
    Push skull pins as far as possible into pin holder receptacles on skull clamp.
    Position the patient so that the two pins on the rocker arm of the skull clamp
    are equidistant from the centerline of the head in the sweatband area.
    Place the clamp in the desired position
    The rocker arm is locked in place by rotating the index knob
    NOTE: The single pin holder and torque screw give the surgeon a visual
    readout of 20/40/60/80 pounds of clamping force. A minimum of 60 lbs of
    force must be applied to the skull clamp.
    Clamping force is increased by turning the torque screw clockwise. Turn the
    torque screw to the desired graduation, then back off one quarter turn.
    NOTE: Skull pin fixation is only recommended for children over the age of
    five.
