The invention relates to a medical device having a mechanism (1) for positioning a devise (4) by means of an arm (7), said arm consisting of at least three members (8, 9, 10), wherein the mechanism (1) has at least five adjustment axes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16), fine adjustment and locking devices (17) being assigned thereto. The medical device is configured in such a way that it can be used universally, especially as a device for stereotaxis that can be placed anywhere and that does not interfere with other medical measures and also as a position determining device that can be placed anywhere for determining the position of a patient (29). This is achieved in that the mechanism (1) has a base part (5) that can be fixed in any given location in the region of the patient (29) in such a way that the device (4) can reach all given target points (2) in or on the patient (29) in practically any direction (3).
Medical device comprising a mechanism (1) for positioning an instrument (4) using an arm (7) having at least three members (8, 9, 10), wherein the mechanism (1) has at least five adjustment axes (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) with associated fine adjustment and locking devices (17), characterized in that each adjustment axis (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) permits a rotational motion (33) which is perpendicular to a rotational motion (33) of an adjacent adjustment axis (11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16) and the mechanism (1) has a support part (5) for fixing to any location in the region of the patient (29) such that the instrument (4) can reach any target point (2) in or on the patient (29) from nearly any direction (3).
