A new split strap applicator ensures accurate stereotactic frame placement, simplifying procedures and improving outcomes. This method allows ear bars for orientation without bearing the frame's weight.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Device Development
  • Stereotactic Surgery

Background:

  • Accurate stereotactic frame placement is crucial for neurosurgical procedures.
  • Traditional methods can present challenges in achieving symmetric and orthogonal alignment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel split strap frame applicator for stereotactic frame placement.
  • To assess the efficacy of the applicator in achieving precise frame positioning.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a split strap applicator with two pairs of straps and a common center.
  • Utilizing ear bars for frame orientation without them supporting the frame's weight during screw placement.

Main Results:

  • Retrospective review of 20 patients demonstrated excellent stereotactic frame placement.

  • Minimal deviation from orthogonal planes relative to the head's long axis was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The split strap applicator facilitates precise stereotactic frame positioning.
    • Ear bars can be effectively used for orientation independently of frame weight support.
