PEEK skull clamp is suitable for patients with cervical disc herniation, disc degeneration, and other conditions that require intervertebral fusion surgery.
The elastic modulus of PEEK material is similar to that of the vertebral body, which helps in radiographic imaging during surgery. Its high-temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance make the PEEK surgical head frame perform well in extreme environments.
Product Component Description:
It is also designed to permit placement of the fixation pins at any position free from the critical points of the skull.
The rocker arm of the Cranial Clamp is able to turn 360 degrees around and a patient may be repositioned without having to change the forces acting on it.
The torque screw has a clear view on the clamping force and is better to get the right force.
Torque Screw Force: The screw comprises of torque characteristics therefore, it can generate a force of up to eighty pounds.
The instrument should be checked for cleanliness before and after a particular session of use and handling. If any of the parts of the appliance is non-functional or is in any way defective it is prohibited to operate the unit and it should be returned to the ASC.
Once a quarter to keep not noticing the changes In its operation.
Re-usable cranial pins must be checked for signs of damage before use. Pins should be of equal size and any defective pin should be discarded from the list as it is of no use if it is dull or bent etc.
he PEEK Cranial Pins are suitable for use in open and percutaneous craniotomy as well as in spinal surgeries where stabilization of the Head is necessary.
The device should be positioned along the centre line of the patients head and the needle should penetrate the skull from the skull base to the skull top.
The principles which has to be adhered include proper patient positioning and cranial clamp immobilization so as to prevent some of the complications like cranial pin slippage or scalp injuries.
Skull clamps are devices positioned on the skull of a patient to provide maximum stability of the head and neck to prevent motion; the clamps are used where absolute immobilization is necessary. Cranial Clamp is radiolucent.
The Cranial Clamp is to be used as described in the preventive information on the package insert. Inadequate positioning of the skull clamps on the patient’s head and insufficient fixation of the skull clamps and support device and in all the adjustable positions of the skull clamps and support device can lead to slipping of the skull pins and harm the patient.
PEEK surgical head frame and retractor system is a relatively bigger structure as a whole, if the use of metal is very cumbersome, the doctor’s surgical operation is very inconvenient, through the use of PEEK material can reduce weight by 80%, In this way, the weight of the instrument has been greatly reduced and the lightness and flexibility of the doctor’s operation have been significantly enhanced.
PEEK Skull Clamp has such an aspect as X-ray transmission characteristics, the structure that can be adjusted for positioning and aiming is more accurate and flexible.
Carbon fiber material PEEK possesses high strength, high stiffness, and no corrosion to the body, and can bear and fasten the weight of the head or other tissues.
Long-term stability is well maintained, PEEK as a material has a long service life, it is resistant to aging or decomposition, high heat thermal stability and it is hard to deform or melt.
Rigid Bone Fixation: PEEK Skull Clamp gives there rigid bone fixation that helps keep the patient's head in a non-moving position during surgery. during surgery.
PEEK material is also biocompatible and so will not be expelled from human body tissue.
They are made of PEEK, with carbon fiber reinforcements for high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and fatigue.
PEEK skull clamps do not change the aspect or the mechanical behavior when submitted to heat or cleaning solutions during the process of autoclaving.
