ENGLISH:
* 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 looking at the above chart, the ovals representing the patient’s head have centerlines drawn on them. The diagrams show selected samples 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 single-pin line of direction to obtain the highest degree of stability.

such as scalp lacerations, skull fracture or even death.
Indications for Use/Intended Purpose/ Description
WARNING: Non-Mayfield branded products used with MAYFIELD products - We caution that we have only validated MAYFIELD products used in conjunction with the MAYFIELD product line, and as a result, cannot advise you whether suppliers’ products would work properly with the MAYFIELD line of products.
The Modified MAYFIELD® Skull Clamp (REF A-1059) is designed to give rigid skeletal fixation and allow the surgeon more freedom in positioning the fixation pins. Avoidance of critical areas of the skull is made possible by a swiveling rocker arm, which rotates 360 degrees, making application much easier. The swivel rocker arm can rotate 360 degrees under full skeletal pressure after pin impingement, making final patient positioning safer and easier. The Modified MAYFIELD Skull Clamp requires the use of three (3) each MAYFIELD Skull Pins.
MAYFIELD Skull Pins
MAYFIELD Reusable Adult Skull Pin (REF A-1047) MAYFIELD Reusable Child Skull Pin (REF A-1048) MAYFIELD Disposable Adult Skull Pins (REF A-1072 - Plastic) MAYFIELD Disposable Adult Skull Pins (REF A-1083 - Steel) MAYFIELD Disposable Child Skull Pins (REF A-1084 - Steel) The MAYFIELD Ultra Base Unit (REF A-2101) and the MAYFIELD Ball Socket Swivel Adaptor (REF A-1064), the MAYFIELD Swivel Adaptor (REF A-1018), or the MAYFIELD Tri-Star Adapter (REF A-2008) are required when using the Modified MAYFIELD Skull Clamp. In addition, the MAYFIELD Crossbar Adaptor (REF A-1015) is required for use of the skull clamp for the sitting position.
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. WARNING: Failure to read and follow instructions furnished in this product insert may result in skull pin slippage and serious patient injury,
WARNING: This device is not intended for use in or near the vicinity of a strong magnetic field. (MRI) WARNING: Do not alter the design of the device in part or whole as serious patient injury could result.
Inspection
Always inspect instruments before and after use. If a component appears damaged and/or does not seem to function properly, do not use the device and immediately send the instrument to an authorized Integra repair center for evaluation, repair or replacement. Allow your Integra Representative to inspect this device a minimum of two times per year to assist you in its proper function.
Instructions for Use
1. Mounting of MAYFIELD Skull Pins NOTE: Use only MAYFIELD brand skull pins with this skull clamp. a. Push skull pins as far as possible into pin holder receptacles on skull clamp. CAUTION: Inspect reusable skull pins before each use. To maintain proper fixation, pins should be of equal length. Broken, dull, or bent pins should be replaced. It is recommended that spare pins always be kept available.
WARNING: Never resharpen skull pins. Dull or bent pins should be replaced. NOTE: When using MAYFIELD Disposable or Reusable Skull Pins, follow instructions supplied with the product. 2. Fixation to Patient WARNING: Failure to properly position patient and to fully tighten and secure all adjustable portions of this or any similar device may result in skull pin slippage and serious patient injury, such as scalp laceration, skull fracture or even death. WARNING: MAYFIELD Skull Clamp fixation devices 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. WARNING: The skull clamp must be applied along the centerline 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 tighten and secure all adjustable portions of this or any similar device may result in skull pin slippage and serious patient injury, such as scalp laceration, skull fracture or even death. a. Position the patient so that the two pins on the rocker arm of the skull clamp are equidistant from the centerline of the head (see Figure 2). CAUTION: Avoid the areas of the frontal sinus, temporal fossa, major blood vessels, nerves, previously restored or abnormally thin bone. b. Pull the plunger out and slide the two halves of skull clamp apart to adjust to proper width. c. Place the clamp in the desired position, normally
perpendicular to the floor for supine or prone patient positions and parallel to the floor for sitting patient positions (see fig. 6). d. The rocker arm is locked in place by rotating the index knob clockwise 60 degrees until the arrow on the index knob is aligned with the arrow on the aluminum arm. The rocker arm is now fully locked (See Service Note 2). e. Seat the skull pins securely into the cranial table. Skull pins should enter the scalp at a 90 degree angle, perpendicular to the head. NOTE: The single pin holder and torque screw give the surgeon a visual readout of 20/40/60/80 pounds of clamping force (see fig. 3). f. Clamping force is increased by turning the torque screw clockwise (See Service Note 3). Turn the torque screw to the desired graduation, then back off one quarter turn. NOTE: A minimum of 60 lbs. of pressure must be applied to the skull clamp. An additional pressure range reaching 80 lbs. is available if desired. WARNING: Pressure in excess of 80 lbs. is NOT RECOMMENDED. 3. Mounting of the Skull Clamp a. Insert threaded screw of small sunburst fitting on the swivel adaptor into the threaded hole of the MAYFIELD Base Unit’s Transitional Member. b. Turn the mounting knob clockwise and tighten. c. Insert torque screw of the large sunburst ratchet on the swivel adaptor into the threaded hole on the skull clamp. d. Turn the torque screw clockwise and tighten. Make certain to securely attach the base unit to the operating room table. WARNING: Failure to properly position patient and to fully tighten and secure all adjustable portions of this or any similar device may result in skull pin slippage and serious patient injury, such as scalp laceration, skull fracture or even death.
CAUTION: Before fully tightening, always be certain that the sunburst teeth of the Swivel Adaptor and the Transitional Member fittings are the same size and mesh properly. Failure to do so may damage fittings. (Figure 4 shows typical sunburst connection and proper meshing of teeth).
• Channels and crevices found on this device require particular attention during cleaning. • Pay special attention to the water quality used throughout reprocessing. Hard water can damage the surface of the equipment. Avoid using hard water. Instead use purified water unless otherwise specified.
Service Notes
Limitations on reprocessing • Repeated processing has minimal effects on these devices. Product life is normally determined by wear and damage due to use. • It is important to have Integra NeuroSpecialists perform routine inspections (twice yearly is recommended). See contact information below.
1. A routine check made well before each case will help avoid problems. The check should include the following: Check the plunger locking the ratchet arm in place for movement as follows: a. Remove the ratchet arm and hold the body with the release mechanism pointed toward the floor. b. Apply pressure upward while looking for movement. If the release mechanism moves 1.6mm or more, the unit should be returned for service. 2. While rotating the rocker arm 360 degrees lock and unlock the index knob. To ensure proper locking engagement, the knob must always turn a minimum of 60 degrees. If it does not lock, a slight additional rotation of the rocker arm should allow the locking mechanism to engage. If difficulties are encountered, the unit should be returned for service. 3. With the skull pin removed from the 80 psi torque screw, apply as much force as possible over the hole and check for movement of the index shaft. If rubber protrudes from around the shaft, the unit should be returned for service.
