4.1
The DORO Headrest System Teon is similar in design and function to the DORO Headrest
System Aluminum but it features a Teon coating which allows it to be reprocessed in a
washer/disinfector and it can be steam sterilized. It is a mechanical support system, which is
used in head and neck surgery. This system allows the patient’s head to be positioned and
secured for the operation. It can be used for cranial xation of the patient in prone, supine,
lateral and sitting positions.
4.2
The Base Unit is designed for patient positioning in prone or supine positions. For lateral
positioning we recommend using the DORO Adjustable Base Unit Parkbench (Item-No.
3001-006, not Teon coated).
NOTE:
For patients undergoing surgery in sitting positions, use the DORO Crossbar
Adaptor (Item-No. 3007-00) which is mounted to the side rails of the OR table
(see instruction manual DORO Crossbar Adaptor for mounting instructions).
The Swivel Adaptor connects the Base Unit (by means of the Transitional Member) with the
Skull Clamp. The Swivel Adaptor is pivotable by 360 degrees. This allows a fully exible
adjustment of the DORO Headrest System to the patient’s position.
The Skull Clamp provides the receptacles for the Skull Pins which penetrate the patient’s
skull for rigid cranial xation.
