Abstract
A transcranial securing device for deep brain stimulation leads comprising: a principal part for securing inside an opening formed in the cranium of a patient; and at least one first securing part housed inside said principal part; said or each securing part comprises at least one axial bore adapted to allow the passage of one or more deep brain stimulation leads; said or at least one securing part is arranged so as to be capable of passing from a first position in which the lead or leads can slide axially in the respective bores, to a second position in which it grips the lead or leads in the respective bore or bores, preventing said sliding.

A transcranial securing device for deep brain stimulation leads, comprising:
- a principal part in the form of a sleeve or cup for securing inside an opening formed in the cranium of a patient;
- and
- a first and a second securing part superimposed inside said principal part;
- said securing parts respectively comprising at least one axial bore adapted to allow the passage of one or more deep brain stimulation leads;
- wherein said securing parts are arranged so as to be capable of passing from a first relative position in which their respective axial bores are aligned to allow the lead or leads to slide axially, to a second relative position in which said axial bores are partially misaligned in order to grip the lead or leads, preventing said sliding.
