OR Head Holder HEIDBERG & OR Head Coil 1.5T / 3T
Upgrade-Kit for our existing customers
The Head Holder HEIDBERG is a further development of the older NORAS OR Head Holder versions for our existing customers. With the improved HEIDBERG model, several product features of our established neurosurgery solution FLEXIBILITY are available.
The head holder ensures a secure stabilization of the head during the neurosurgical interventions. Thanks to the NORAS 8-channel OR Head Coils, excellent image quality can be achieved.
The mechanical components, assembled above the head frame are identical to the Head Holder FLEXIBILITY. Thus, HEIDBERG can be swiveled and rotated for optimal access to the area of the intervention and allows adjustment to the patient's head size.
The NORAS OR Head Holder HEIDBERG allows the fixation of the head in supine, prone and lateral position of the patient and is suitable for awake craniotomies, DBS and minimally invasive pituitary surgery.
The Head Holder HEIDBERG is compatible with various surgical instruments.
Sterilization of the head coils and cables is no longer necessary with the Head Holder HEIDBERG!
We recommend all customers and users of older NORAS Head Holder versions – SI7000, SI7000-MQ, SI7300 or 113056 or 113066 (version 4) – to upgrade their systems with the HEIDBERG upgrade kit.
