Insulated Curved Posts - One pair

Insulated Curved Posts - One pair Enlarge image
Two anterior curved fixation posts for Leksell® Coordinate Frame G. Designed for 1.5 T and 3.0 T MRI. Including 2 posts and 2 locking screws.
The design of the Insulated Fixation Posts, with their sterile, single-use screw inserts, insulates the fixation screw from the post. The inserts minimize the occurance of radio frequency generated thermal effects in MR scanners.

An additional benefit of the plastic inserts is the smooth thread interface to the fixation screw. This increases the lifetime of the screws and metal posts and makes for a smoother procedure when attaching the stereotactic frame.

The rounded slimmed top allows for more space in tight MRI head coils and increases the available treatable volume for Gamma Knife® surgery.

A post is fixed at each of the internal corners of the frame by means of a 5 x 19 mm screw passing through a slot in the center of the post and secured with a specially-shaped locking piece. This arrangement allows you to adjust the height of the frame in relation to the patient's head.
