Multifunctional Plate for Neurological Cranial Surgeries

Multifuncional plate for neurological cranial surgeries comprising a Titanium round plate body, provided with peripheral holes intended to receive Titanium micro screws in order to attach it to the skull, characterized for containing a set of grooves/holes providing the plate with multiple functions:

• radial groove with semicircular end sufficient to receive a drain or catheter;
• central round hole, sufficient to receive a second drain or catheter;
• three curved oblong holes around the central circular hole and the borders with ends adjacent to the semicircular end of the radial groove;
• the referred plate provides a useful area, on which the following are disposed:
• the semicircular end of the radial groove, the central round hole and the curved oblong holes;
• the referred radial groove, central round hole and the curved oblong holes are configured and arranged in such a way as to provide transcutaneous access to the intracranial cavity through surgical instruments, such as puncture of biopsy needle and others;
• the radial groove, the central round hole and the curved oblong holes with sizes selected to comply with their function and to define among them and between them and the border of the plate material strips sized to help to provide resistance to the plate, sufficient to also use it as a plate intended to stabilize/attach the cranial bone flap in Craniotomy operations.
