OR Head Holder LUCY & OR Head Coil 1.5T / 3T
MR and X-ray compatible for multi-modal applications
LUCY is an innovative neurosurgery solution that combines the functions of a head holder for secure fixation of the skull during interventions and a MR coil for intra-operative imaging.
The head holder is compatible with the established 8-channel NORAS head coil setup. Thanks to the radiotranslucent material, the OR Head Holder LUCY (without the NORAS OR Head Coils) can also be used in the X-ray environment – CT and angiographie – for intra-operative imaging.
The three-point fixation with integrated force indicator guarantees a secure fixation of the patient's head. The head frame can be swiveled, rotated, tilted and adjusted in height. In addition, the entire system can be moved along the head-foot-axis and the horizontal axis.
LUCY provides a comfortable positioning of the patient in prone, supine or lateral position on the OP table. Besides tumor resections, "deep brain stimulations" (DBS) and minimally invasive pituitary surgery, the system also supports awake craniotomies.
Due to the compatibility to the new transferboard from Maquet our solution can be combined with nexaris Angio-MR-CT and the Artis pheno Angiography System.
LUCY is compatible with various surgical instruments.
Thanks to a unique sterile concept, neither cables nor coils need to be sterilized!

Optional Components
All Purpose Arch Set LUCY
The All Purpose Arch can be attached in different angles to the toothing of the clamps in head-foot direction.
If mounted in foot direction, the scalp can be sewed onto the arch or mounted with rubber bands or hooks. If mounted in the front, the arch serves as a hand rest. Additionally GREENBERG™ retractors can be mounted onto the arch by using various GREENBERG™ retractors.
The Set consists of:
2x 119675 All Purpose Arch LUCY
4x 119678 Adapter for All Purpose Arch LUCY
3x 119680 Multipurpose Clamping Screw - M10 long Set (9 Stk.)
GREENBERG™ Retractor Adapter:
This additional adapter can be attached to the All Purpose Arch and serves as an adapter of several GREENBERG™ and Budde® Halo retractors. It can be flexibly mounted on the All Purpose Arch.
Leyla Retractor Socket:
The socket serves as mount of the various LEYLA® Retractors. The top part can be rotated horizontally in various angles. The bottom part is inserted into the dove tail of the Clamps (p/n 11937) or of the GREENBERG™ Retractor Adapter and locked tightly.
VarioGuide™ Adapter LUCY
With this adapter, the BrainLab VarioGuide™ Biopsy Arm can be mounted on the left or right side of the Head Holder.
Pediatrics Set LUCY
The "Pediatrics Set LUCY" is designed for use in pediatric patients. With the help of the "One-point Fixation with Force Indicator Pediatrics LUCY" and the "Two-point Fixation Pediatrics LUCY" it is possible to respond to the smaller head geometry of pediatric patients and to safely tension the head during surgery (and intraoperative imaging). The force display of the single-point fixation shows the tension force applied by the user in 20N steps, whereby the maximum tension force of the installed spring corresponds to 100N.
The set is completed by 6 skull pins with small tips, as usually used for children, and a special strainer basket for small parts to store the sterile skull pins in the operating theatre.
The Set consists of:
1x 120337 One-point Fixation with Force Indicator Pediatrics LUCY
1x 120347 Two-point Fixation Pediatrics LUCY
6x 117329 Skull Pin with small tip "Flexibility"
1x 117570 Special strainer basket for small parts - JF148R
1x 114999 Plastic Case blue, without print, with paster foam
