Abstract:
1. A cranium fixation device ( 1 ) including a cranium clamp ( 2 ) having a first clamping element ( 3 ) and a second clamping element ( 4 ) and a rod ( 5 ), with the rod ( 5 ) extending from the first clamping element and ending in an end portion ( 5 d ), wherein the second clamping element ( 4 ) is displaceably arranged in a direction of extent ( 53 ) of the rod ( 5 ), wherein a hand actuatable applicator ( 7 ) has a holding part ( 7 a ) and a thrust part ( 7 b ), wherein the holding part ( 7 a ) and the thrust part ( 7 b ) are coupled to one another via a connection part ( 7 c ), wherein the end portion ( 5 d ) of the rod ( 5 ) is held by the holding part ( 7 a ), wherein the thrust part ( 7 b ) is arranged such that the thrust part can exert a force on the second clamping element ( 4 ) directed towards the first clamping element ( 3 ) and wherein the connection part ( 7 c ) extends partly spaced from the rod ( 5 ) such that a displacement of the connection part ( 7 c ) towards the rod ( 5 ) increases the distance between the holding part ( 7 a ) and the thrust part ( 7 b ) in order to thereby displace the second clamping element ( 4 ) via the thrust part ( 7 b ) acting thereon in the direction of the first clamping element ( 3 ), wherein the connection part ( 7 c ) has in series following one another a first connection portion ( 7 e ), an actuation portion ( 7 d ) and a second connection portion ( 7 f ), wherein the actuation portion ( 7 d ) extends substantially parallel to the rod ( 5 ), and at least one of the first and second connection portions ( 7 e , 7 f ) extends in curved manner.
