STEREOCRANIOBASIOMETRE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61B19/00 A61B5/107 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: stereocraniobasiometre comprises two "П"-shaped frames with a lower frame being used to be fastened on and object. Lateral guide rails of the upper frame comprise an attached cross bar movable thereon and bearing a vertically fixed calliper. The "П"-shaped frames are connected to vertical racks, and the lower frame is designed as guide rails with movable saggital and front retaining pins with their ends directed toward an object and mill-edged. At least on one lateral guide rail of the upper frame, there is a ruler intended to determine the distance from the examined point to a frontal plane (of the saggital coordinates). The cross bar comprises a ruler as well with a slider movable in a frontal plane and ensuring to determine the frontal coordinate of the examined point that is distance from a median plane, while the calliper is attached to the slider. Said device provides to determine a skull type, shape of pre-aricular parts of its base and angulation of relative horizontal plane to Frankfurter plane. Besides the device allows retaining the whole structure on pins effectively within skull tissues. Also the device allows performing measurements both of macerated skulls and of corpses during necropsy without separation of a head from a body.

EFFECT: higher effectiveness of application of the device.
