Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a stabilizing device adapted to be applied to a stereotactic frame (2, 3), which is provided with fixation pins (4) to allow fixation of the stereotactic frame to a bone (5) of a human or animal body part to be examined or treated, wherein the stabilizing device is adapted to stabilize a fixation pin in relation to the frame. The stabilizing device comprises a stabilizing member (9) which in a first position is provided with a through opening (13), adapted to be applied over the fixation pin in an area between the frame and the body part, and a tensioning member (10) positioned in a second position on a distance from the through opening and being capable of drawing the stabilizing member towards the frame. The stabilizing member is formed with a stop member (12), which is adapted, when tightening the tensioning member, to prevent displacement of the first position of the stabilizing member along the fixation pin towards the frame, while allowing displacement of the second position of the stabilizing member towards the frame, such that the fixation pin will be drawn or bent in a direction towards the second position.
