摘要:
The present disclosure relates generally to precise stereotactic implantation of an instrument (e.g., a recording electrode, a stimulating electrode, a biopsy instrument, a catheter, a delivery device, and the like) into a target area in a patient's brain. As such, one aspect of the present disclosure can relate to a stereotactic device that can be used to accomplish the precise implantation of the instrument. The stereotactic device can include a body to secure the stereotactic device to the patient's head. In some instances, the body can have a u-shape. The stereotactic device can also include a guide attached between sides of the body to move an instrument holder into place above a target area. The guide can be locked in position to lock the instrument holder in the place to facilitate injection of the instrument into the target area.
