摘要:
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.

This invention relates to a fixation device and a method for immobilizing a head of a patient relative a treatment unit or medical device during treatment of the head. The fixation device is provided with an interface unit adapted to be fixated in relation to an adaptor unit for connection to the treatment unit, or to a frame for connection to the medical device. Furthermore, the fixation device is provided with a bite-block for being inserted into a mouth of a patient and a positioning arrangement movably connecting the bite-block to the interface unit. The positioning arrangement is adapted to be fixated by means of an adhesive for fixation of the bite-block such that the head of a patient can be immobilized relative said adaptor unit or frame.

The invention relates to an adapter (5) for a fixation pin (2) of the type which is adapted for fixating a supporting structure to a bony structure of a human or animal body part, and which is provided with a shank portion (4). The adapter (5) comprises a sharp-pointed tip (7), for penetration into the bony structure of the body part, and an engagement formation (8) for removable connection to an inner end of said shank portion (4). The invention also relates to a fixation pin and a method for fixating a supporting structure to a human or animal body part.

The present invention relates to a device for fixation to a head of a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery, in particular during MRI diagnosis. The device comprises at least one fixation pin for fixation to the head, a sleeve member (5) having an internal threaded through bore to at least partly receive and hold said fixation pin, and a pin support member for supporting said fixation pin and sleeve member. The sleeve member is exchangeable and provided in at least two different lengths in order to allow adaptation of the sleeve member to the size of the head to improve the fixation of the head and avoid the fixation pin to protrude beyond the outer boundary of the pin support member. The invention also relates to a method for fixation of a head.
摘要:
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.
