Cranial decompression connector

Abstract

Disclosed is a cranial decompression connector, including two screws (1) and an elastic connecting member (2) connected between the two screws (1). Two ends of the elastic connecting member (2) are respectively connected to the two screws (1), one screw (1) is configured to be fixedly connected to a bone window, and the other screw (1) is configured to be fixedly connected to a bone plate. When a patient undergoes a craniotomy, the two screws (1) are respectively fixed to the bone window and the bone plate, and the two ends of the elastic connecting member (2) are respectively connected to the two screws (1) to connect the bone window and the bone plate together. As the pressure of the patient's brain tissue increases, the bone plate is displaced to the outside and protrudes out of the bone window to decrease the intracranial pressure, the patient's brain tissue swelling subsides, the intracranial pressure returns to the normal range, and the bone plate automatically returns to the original position under the traction of the elastic connecting member (2), such that the bone plate gradually merges with the bone window to form a whole. The self-repair of the skull is achieved, and secondary skull repair for the patient is avoided.
