For most cranial procedures a craniotomy needs to be done by the neurosurgeon to get access to the brain. To ensure protection of the brain as well as a good cosmesis, the bone flap needs to be fixed to the skull at the end of the operation.
Aesculap offers three systems for cranial fixation.

CranioFix®2 is a cranial fixation system using cranial clamps made of titanium for a fast, easy and reliable fixation. The clamps are delivered sterile in different sizes to be either used in the craniotomy gap or as burr hole cover.
