Abstract
A skull clamping device for fixing and aligning a head of a patient for a medical intervention includes a first ring element and a second ring element arranged concentrically. The second ring element is arranged within the first ring element and is connected hereto by a second axis, about which the second ring element is mounted rotatably within the first ring element. The first ring element is mounted rotatably about a first axis that is orthogonal to the second axis. The skull clamping device also includes a motor-driven drive that drives rotation of the first ring element and/or the second ring element about the respective axis, at least two pins arranged in an innermost ring element, two telescope bars that hold the first ring element and the second ring element, and a control unit for the motor-driven drive.
