Table 1 Skull Clamp Position Diagram Note: Patient positioning and application of the skull clamp can be made with numerous variations. The patient’s final position should be acceptable to the surgeon, taking into account the patient’s anatomy, pressure points, neck flexibility and access to the surgical target. In the chart above, the ovals representing the patient’s head have centerlines drawn on them. The diagrams show examples of proper and improper applications of the skull clamp. The direction of the single-pin should point directly through the center point created by the centerlines of the patient’s head with the pins on the two-pin side of the skull clamp being equidistant to the single-pin line of direction to obtain the highest degree of stability.

EN – ENGLISH
Indication For Use/Intended Purpose The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp is placed on the patient’s skull to hold their head and neck securely in a particular position when rigid fixation is desired. The Skull Clamp is indicated for use in open and percutaneous craniotomies as well as spinal surgery when rigid fixation is necessary. The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp is NOT Radiolucent.
WARNING! Failure to read and follow instructions furnished in this product insert may result in skull pin slippage and serious patient injury, such as lacerations, skull fracture, or even death. The Skull Clamp must be applied along the center line of the patient’s head with pins entering the skull perpendicularly (See Table 1). Failure to properly position the Skull Clamp on the patient’s head could result in patient injury such as scalp laceration due to skull pin slippage. Failure to properly position patient and to fully secure all adjustment positions of the Skull Clamp or any support device may result in patient injury. It is cautioned that only MAYFIELD products have been validated for use with other MAYFIELD products. Integra cannot advise whether other suppliers’ products would function properly with the MAYFIELD line of products. Integra does not offer warranty protection when a non-MAYFIELD brand product is used with a MAYFIELD branded product. Do not alter the design of the device in part or whole as serious patient injury could result. Do not use Skull Clamps to exert excessive traction during a procedure. Patient injury could result. Skull Clamps are not intended for use in or near the vicinity of a strong magnetic field (MRI).
WARNING! This device is NOT Radiolucent.
Intended Population MAYFIELD Skull Clamp fixation devices are not recommended for use on children under five (5) years of age. Extreme caution should be exercised in pediatric cases because of the thin skull.

Description The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp is designed to provide rigid skeletal fixation or stabilization in conjunction with the Base Unit (A3100, A3101, A3102) or any other standard aluminum MAYFIELD Base Units (A2009, A2101, A2102). The Skull Clamp is designed to allow the surgeon freedom in positioning the fixation pins. Avoidance of critical areas of the skull is facilitated by a swiveling rocker arm that also rotates 360 degrees. To simplify patient re-positioning after skull pin impingements, the rocker may be rotated without adjustment of the impingement force imposed by the Torque Screw (Single-pin side of skull clamp). The MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp (A3059) includes: Standard Adult Rocker Arm Standard Torque Screw (454A1002) Standard Ratchet Extension
Standard Torque Screw The torque screw can develop up to 80 lbs. (356 N) of force; graduated in 20 lb. (89 N) increments. The knob has eight facets. One facet is labeled with the “Caution” symbol.

Mounting of MAYFIELD Skull Pins Note: Use only MAYFIELD brand Skull Pins with this Skull Clamp. Seat pins so there is no gap between the shoulder of the pin and the face of the socket
Figure 3 Mounting Skull Pins
CAUTION! Carefully inspect reusable skull pins before each use. To maintain proper fixation, pins should be of equal length. Damaged (dull, bent, etc.) pins should be replaced. It is recommended that spare pins always be kept available.
WARNING! Never attempt to resharpen skull pins. Dull or bent pins should be replaced. Note: When using MAYFIELD Skull Pins, follow Instructions For Use supplied with the product.
WARNING! Skull pins are not recommended for use on children under five (5) years of age and extreme caution should be exercised in pediatric cases because of the thin skull. MAYFIELD Child Skull Pins are recommended for young children over the age of five (5) years. It is at the discretion of the user, when the adult or child skull pins should be used.
CAUTION! Only MAYFIELD branded skull pins may be used with MAYFIELD Skull Clamps. Integra does not offer warranty protection when a Non-MAYFIELD brand skull pin is used with a MAYFIELD Skull Clamp.

Attachment of The Skull Clamp to The Base Unit Once the Skull Clamp is applied to the patient’s skull, the surgeon will maneuver the patient to the surgical position that is required for the procedure. With the patient in this position, the surgeon will hold the patient’s head and the Skull Clamp and request that the components for the Base Unit to be brought up for attachment. 1. The MAYFIELD 2 Base Unit (A3100, A3101, A3102), should be attached to the operating room table with the Locking Handle unlocked and the Swivel Adaptor loose. In the event that other MAYFIELD Base Units (A2009, A2101, A2102) are going to be used with the Skull Clamp, be sure to also assemble a Swivel Adaptor (A1018, A2008) to complete the support system for the Skull Clamp. Make certain to securely attach the base unit to the operating room table. 2. The attached but loose components of the Base Unit should be brought up for attachment to the Skull Clamp. • I nsert the mounting screw of the large starburst of the Swivel Adaptor into the large starburst of the Skull Clamp. • T urn the handle clockwise and tighten. • C are should be taken to maintain the position of the patient’s head as requested by the surgeon. 3. After securely fastening the Skull Clamp to the Swivel Adaptor turn the Index Locking Knob to the locked position. Continue by checking all the locking knobs and locking handles of the Adaptor and Base Unit making certain all starburst teeth are meshed (where applicable) on all joints of the Base Unit after adjustments are complete.

Cleaning and Disinfection of the MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp Cleaning: Option 1: Manual Cleaning CAUTION! Care should be taken to read completely this section on Cleaning, Disinfection and Decontamination of your MAYFIELD 2 equipment. It is important to know what method of cleaning/disinfection is needed based on what type of debris exposure the equipment has received. This is especially important when there is the possibility of exposure to a persistent pathogen that is resistant to normal cleaning and disinfection methods. Equipment with this exposure should be processed per the steps in the Decontamination Section. Integra does not make any claims regarding the effectiveness of the decontamination processes listed in deactivating pathogens, but rather, we are indicating that the device can withstand these procedures with minimal loss of function. IMPORTANT: If the product has been exposed to persistent/ highly contagious pathogens1, DO NOT apply gluteraldehyde, alcohol or formalin to the device until the decontamination process is complete. (See Decontamination Section below for instructions) The following steps are recommended for Manual Reprocessing of the MAYFIELD 2 Skull Clamp (A3059). 1. Disassembly: Separate the Ratchet Extension from the body portion of the Skull Clamp.
WARNING! Visually confirm that there are no Skull Pins in the rocker arm or Torque Screw. It is recommended to completely remove the ratchet extension from the clamp before removing Skull Pins. • R emove the Torque Screw from the Ratchet Extension. 2. Soak each component in a warm enzymatic solution (35°C-45°C) prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for 30 minutes. 3.
Wash and Rinse: • S crub each component with a soft brush. The Skull Clamp can withstand detergents that fall within pH ranges of 3-11. • C lean thoroughly to remove any traces of blood and/ or debris. This is to prevent such blood and/ or debris from interfering with function or movement. • I nspect all components to ensure each component is visibly clean. Repeat as needed. • R inse thoroughly with clean water (e.g. deionized water) to remove all traces of detergent.
